The board has officially voted to return to a five day schedule and I am honestly still in shock that this happened. I never could have moved this needle alone so please know this result belongs to all of you who pushed for it. Let us keep a close eye …

Our goal is to present Dr. Nisha Patel & the Fox C-6 Board of Education (located in Jefferson Co., MO) a petition to request a district wide return to a 5 day a week in person learning schedule for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year. We are requesting that the school board hold an immediate meeting to discuss and vote to return schools back to the 5 day in person learning for those currently enrolled in the 4 day in person model. We are by no means asking for the elimination of the current 100% virtual learning program.
As their constituents, we appreciate the fair and democratic process that was used to survey us for the option to return to 4 days a week from the 2 day hybrid or 100% virtual options. We are requesting that this same process be translated now again.
We plan to prove that an overwhelming majority of the school district students, parents, faculty, and tax payers are in support of returning to school with full time in person learning (in schools where it is safe, manageable, & feasible; meaning this maybe only possible for all elementary and middle schools and not manageable for the high schools at this time due to the virtual learning program or it maybe possible for all schools with some adjustments made). It would be irresponsible for Dr. Patel & the Board to dismiss the oaths they took to be guardians of the public’s trust if they were to ignore our voice.
It is time we ALL take responsibility for the success of our local public education. Our children deserve a full education and the school board and superintendent need to provide that to the students of our district by an immediate vote to provide 5 day in person learning.

I have been reading through the thoughtful comments arriving here and I am truly humbled by the passion you all have for our students. This has grown into something much larger than I ever imagined when I first hit publish. Please know that I am working hard behind the scenes to make sure our request is seen by the right people.

I started this because I felt alone in wanting more for our schools but seeing this response proves I was wrong. The momentum building here rests entirely on your shoulders and I am truly humbled by your willingness to speak up.

There are many districts who have been in session 5 days with few internal transmissions. Children need routine and social emotional support that school provides.
5days and all the Sr activities as well. These kids deserve a fun last year of high school like most of all had.
I have watched my kiddos go from carefree kids to kids that are anxiety ridden, and have separation anxiety.. they have gotten a little better since we started 4 days but they need to go back to their normal life!!! 5 days please
I have a child in special education and he needs 5 days a week!!! Wednesday's are a joke in my book. He needs instruction every day!!
Patricia, thanks for sharing! Maybe the Board or Dr. Patel could consult with the private schools as to how they’re doing it? (Although I’d be surprised if they haven’t already). Even though the student body in general is smaller, class sizes individually tend to be similar.

We had to pull our son out of fox due to it not having a consistent schedule. Our son is very behind in his private school. They have been going to school this entire time. We did not want to pull him out of fox school district, but we had no choice.
