Basically that they are trying ot implement test to stay without having been accepted into the official program like FCPS.

He said they want test to stay or they do NOT want test to stay?

Have you lived here long? FCCPS rarely closes for snow.

They caved to what the other schools in the region were doing and unnecessarily closed for covid for 6 months last year so not sure why this would prove any different

They were the only district fully open twice in November and April, but COVID also isn't snow.

Umm they were definitely fully not open last November.

They were, my kid was in school full time for a week in November

One grade at each school was back for about a week total before they shut it down again. FCCPS didn’t “open” in November in any meaningful way. (1 of my 3 kids went back for that Nov week and the others didn’t go back until Feb/Mar — can’t remember when they finally opened).

That's not true, TJ was open for all grades - was MD not open?

Yes FCCPS residents love to pretend that the school district is so unique and agile to justify that they are paying way too much for small older homes. We unfortunately bought into the hype and have sorely regretted it.

That is not the forecast at all.

None of the grades were back full time in November (Although you have to love the revisionist history). K and 3rd grade went back for 1.5 weeks total of hybrid (half days)and 1-2 and 4-5 went back for 3-4 days of hybrid (half days). Then back to fully virtual for everyone until the end of February.

I had kids in 1, 3, and 5 last year and only the 3rd grader went back for any real school in November. I guarantee you it was one grade at each school as a trial to ease us back into everyone returning. Maybe the 1 and 5 went back for one week? Either way, the system did not reopen fully and quickly shut back down for several more months.

They want it

The district applied for the test to stay program but was waitlisted. They're trying to figure out if they can implement something similar through the existing Vista testing program.

Yep, it’s amazing how many people fudge the truth/blatantly lie to try to make FCCPS look better than the surrounding districts.

They did take a small number of students with IEPs/special needs back full time in November, so I’m assuming that your child must have fallen in that category but the vast majority of students in all grades were not back full time.
