Rally outside Rockville HS today?

[Anonymous]

Is this really being organized at Rockville HS by families who want to reinstate the Virtual Academy, or for something else? Apparently a listening session also with new Superintendent.

*rally, not really

Yes, MVA families are having a rally. His intent is to listen and ignore what is being said as its clear he doesn't care any more than the BOE. In the few weeks he's been onboard he's made no changes to MVA, school safety, behavior, etc.

School safety is a bigger issue than VA.

It’s been two weeks. I’m sure he’s planning changes.

1) It's summer.
2) He's been on the job for 2 weeks, one of which was a holiday week, and 2 business days, so 11 business days total.
3) He's visited a bunch of schools and facilities.
4) Two weeks into his appointment, he is hosting a meeting with a group of folks who are legitimately angry at actions of his predecessor.

Y'all are insane for thinking he's supposed to have accomplished anything major yet.

Basically all he's done is PR. It may be summer but some MVA kids still don't have placements, nor do the staff.

Both are big issues, MVA is far cheaper to fund and deal with. Both need to be addressed asap.

It's been two weeks, you don't think he has a million tasks already?

He couldn't have saved MVA even if he wanted to. MVA administrators were reassigned weeks ago, the MVA is not coming back. The deadline for teachers to move to other schools has passed. It would create too much movement.

ALL students have placements...at their home schools.

So the guy is 2 weeks in and the superintendent and you think he’s supposed to be assigning students and teachers to new placements? You’re delusional.

That’s not his role and would be a giant waste of his salary for him to spend time putting Larla into any placement other than her home school.

If the kids were comfortable going to their homeschool they wouldn’t be in MVA. MCPS promised prioritized COSAs to MVA families to help find a school devoid of bullies, risqué fashion or whatever else is keeping the MVA families away from their home schools.

And they do not all have placements. That was made clear this evening.

In what sense do they not have placements? Their homeschools are refusing to enroll them?

Well he is wasting his time. He has set up to call each of the 800 families to discuss the next school year.

Not all kids can go to their home school.
