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.

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.

You are really clueless.

They've been working in their new positions since July 1, you think they'd just yank them out of in person schools all of a sudden?

No one has closed anyone's home schools. Plenty of spots open.

MVA is not going to and logistically cannot come back this year.

It absolutely can reopen. Just get new leadership. Not all kids can go to the homeschools nor do they want to.

And given some of the test scores those schools should be shut down too.

1) There is an administrator shortage. Even if the district came up with some entire expensive alternative administrative structure, it would not be the best of the best because everyone is being pulled into open positions right now.

2) A fair number of the poster children for the MVA are too young to have even tried home schools. In the absence of a lot of documentation, they will probably need to at least try their neighborhood schools before seeking an alternative placement. That's not a rule. Just for MVA kids, it's a rule for all kids.

3) COSAs are not automatic. Thinking the school you are assigned to is just too high needs, or has too many kids interested in fashion, is not going to result in a successful placement.

Doesn't the new Super have better things to do than to explain to the pro-MVA group for the 100th time that the program has been terminated, was a failure, and is not coming back next year?

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.

Risque fashion? That's, um, a really weird reason to keep your kid in your house on a computer for their education.

The bullying incidents families have shared are heartbreaking, though.

It wasn’t a failure. Keep up the bullying. It keeps you busy and shows the public why MCPS is in trouble.

The statement makes no sense. Because it would only show the public that the public itself is the problem.

Successful in driving more than 66% of its students to leave the program in the span of 2 years...successful in having graduation rates significantly lower than in-person schools...successful in having chronic absenteeism rates significantly higher than in-person schools...successful in having standardized tests scores measuring student achievement of grade-level expectations that were significantly lower than in-person schools, especially among the poorest and youngest students.

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

we lived without MVA prior to covid; we can do so again now after 4 years of covid.

They seem related. If you don't think the school is safe, VA is a better alternative.

Then the answer is to fix the schools, not let a select few escape them.

Such lies, but you arr frtting paid.

The MVA has a different population than an average school. What is important is what MVA did for its population and that data is spectacular.
