Not that I know of. But at our school no one organized. Everyone sent one-off complaints to the Admin. No one organized a petition to the board and faculty. That's the only way to do it.
@Anonymous Hmm.. i've heard both versions for Riverdale -- two weeks remote then 1-2 days/week and that kids will come in twice over these first two weeks and then it's hybrid. Maybe it varies by division?

At Columbia Prep we got a bit of a more robust explanation about the in-person opening moving to October - plus some positive news about the rest of the fall. It still wrecked our family's tightrope planning that they went back on their word about opening in September. And I am not talking about finances here we have plenty of help, access to tutors, etc. How much worse for those who don't have these things.
same here, a little more explanation. I wasn't optimistic they would reverse course due to parent response (they must have known parents would be outraged), I think the only thing the wave of outrage can do is to put extra pressure on them to make the October plan happen.

Seems like Riverdale did. They went from 1-2 days in-person to "we'll do that for two weeks and then increase if it works"
Riverdale is doing that for two weeks starting after Labor Day? They already started totally remote for two weeks

what was the positive news?
At Spence, they went from full remote to reopening in early October if conditions allow based on parent pushback.
they were otherwise planning for an entirely remote year?
@Anonymous An entirely remote semester.
