Personally the school based system has served me well, because we have half days four days per week and my child is finally learning, whereas the district standard is two days per week with much of the in-person time spent watching specials on the computer. The problem I see is that the city has almost completely ignored parents who want schools opened and let union dictate nearly the entire process. Taking Wednesdays away from students is a perfect example of this. I don't like lawsuits, but it seems as though only something drastic can make the city listen. The city has to commit to five days per week in the fall and adjust the OSSE guidelines.


We are not doing 5 days in the fall. You will get 2-3. The highest need students will get 3.


we’re doing 5 days in the fall. what’s wrong with you?

Agree it would be insanity not to have five full days for all in the fall, but I wouldn’t put it beyond DCPS to fail children even more than they have already.

I wonder if you are the same poster who is insisting on this doom scenario on every thread. You seem to take some sort of perverse pleasure in it.

This! Most IEPs are not in full compliance virtually and I am surprised there haven’t been lawsuits already.

There probably have been a few here or there but they take forever to work through the legal system and aren’t publicized. They also cost a lot upfront for parents who take that route.

No, I honestly don't know what you're talking about. This is what I am hearing from various teacher's admin.

Interesting. So does that mean EOTR schools could sue for being forced to have schools that have drastically different outcomes all the rest of the years?

No, because they are getting the same type of service as the rest of the city. The outcomes aren’t different because the instruction is radically different and and deficient.

But they are getting different services - WOTP is opening and EOTP is still only doing DL (save CAREs) and what about the fact that some who want IPL are denied while others get this service? How is that equal or the same type of service!

That’s not what the PP and I were talking about, although it is what this thread is about. The PP was trying to make a false equivalence between IPL vs DL offerings and outcome disparities between schools serving different populations.

No, DCPS will not be sued. If it were going to be sued, it would have been done long ago. Each school is coming up with a plan for some IPL. That is all they had to do. Boxes checked, so let's move on. Maybe term 4 more IPL will happen.
