‘This isn’t safe’: a Pinellas County teacher worries about in-person learning during a pandemic

As a high school science teacher with a doctorate in biology, Christy Foust has studiously monitored the spread of Covid-19. She’s watched the numbers continue to rise. And she fears what could happen if in-person learning resumes Aug. 24.

“I really am worried we’ll be going to the funerals of our students and our colleagues,” said Foust, a biology and chemistry teacher at St. Petersburg High School who has been a vocal advocate for virtual learning until Covid-19 is under control. “A bus driver died in Alachua County. A custodian in Leon County. This stuff is already happening. The examples are there. The data is there. This isn’t safe.”

St. Petersburg City Theatre will turn 100 in five years, and that’s a pretty impressive milestone.

It’s even more impressive when you crunch some recent numbers – in 2016, the longest continuously-operating community theater in the entire country was all but out of money, its all-volunteer board totally out of gas. There was, for a time, little hope it would ever achieve centenarian status.
