Please MCPS administrators or families still complaining about mva, your complaints on items not related to thread title are getting all threads locked. STOP.

You're so threatened by the MVA that you don't even want people to talk about it? You must be a BoE member. Or maybe Taylor himself.

The MVA posters who keep spamming this forum and taking over every thread with their nonsense need a life.

But let's talk about Taylor. What has he done to bring back the MVA? Or reinstate masking requirements with covid, parvovirus, and H5N1 raging in the community? Or upgrade HVAC systems for higher rates of air changes? Or sending kids home with covid symptoms?

I mean, OP isn't doing any favors by opening this thread by talking about the MVA.

If OP wants us to talk about Taylor, maybe give us a link, or a question, or make an observation of their own?

One of Taylor's initiatives (I think) is to get schools to actually enforce the Student ID requirement.

I'll be interested to see if it works. My kid (10th) left the house today wearing his ID because he wants to get candy, which has apparently been promised to students and staff who show up wearing their ID per the rules.

However, it was interesting to see that my kid, who is normally the most rules-following, optimistic, least cynical, person I know saying that he doesn't think the rule will last the month.

I explained the reasoning behind it, and he seemed to understand, but I think managing to get this one thing enforced will increase my personal confidence that Taylor is willing to see initiatives through to the end.

An unenforceable rule with limited benefit? A month seems long.

Kids are going to lose their IDs. Lanyards will become a nuisance and be used in roughhousing or catching on a corner and knocking someone over.

Workplaces can barely enforce ID policies. Unless students and staff need to use the IDs throughout the day to, e.g., open doors or unlock computers, there's absolutely no hope of adherence to this policy.

Why start a new thread to complain about it. One nasty poster ranting about it which makes no sense as it’s gone.

Last year we were told to use the id via their phone and no replacement.

They can have the kids scan in when they enter the building and each classroom.

They could, but it's not like they're going to prevent kids from going to class if they don't have it. And they can't make it painful for the students if they forget it, because that would ultimately just hurt the admin staff at school.
