I think they go virtual after so many days.

That would be a departure from Reid saying “eliminating virtual learning days will enable us to maximize our in-person learning and provide for equitable access to instruction and student services for each and every one of our students.”

Hope she enjoys telling teachers to work in July.

The school year hasn’t been extended in decades, if they fall below the quota, then they asked for permission from VDOE. I think that’s been done two times in the past 10 years and VDOE he has approved it.

This is an exaggeration. Current high school juniors had the school year extended when they were in kindergarten. So, eleven years ago. Not, "decades"

Wasn’t it extended one day?

yup

So not exactly the exaggeration that PP made it out to be….

That’s not a bad idea— the teachers aren’t taking busses to work and presumably could do the training in the schools/central office which have been properly cleared.

I have my computer and I think I will work on it tomorrow.

We've gone through this before.

Cold temps is enough to stay closed? So if the same thing happens, say, two weeks from now, kids will miss another week? This is completely messed up. I'm not sure who to blame though. VDOT? Reid?

DP. Was it only one? I remember being so happy and my kid was so happy that he got to go to school with friends longer to play. How time flies. Enjoy the moments they like to go.

Reid’s the DA in this situation.

Serious question: why isn’t SACC open if buildings are open tomorrow for office staff? SACC is open on teacher workdays.
I understand Reid’s rationale about school buses and bus stops. But SACC doesn’t require buses.
SACC monthly rates for two kids = not cheap.

They can't go in July-sorry to burst that bubble.

They have to do the hours…and she got rid of the snow days for the asinine early release which spreads a three day training into May… so either she’s going to need to get her central office staff out there shoveling, end early release, or continue the school year later.

There are 10 snow days built in. Our kids will be fine.

There were.

She reduced them for elementary school to do the seven early release days. Awkward year to make that call.

I saw the new article the other day, Fcps has 13 built in snow day, Loudoun or another county has 5, and DC has 0 so they will extend/make up snow day later.

FCPS has 13, but not the elementary schools which have lost 21 hours of that time. MS/HS will be ok.

This was discussed like 100 pages ago, the trainings aren’t available/created yet.

NP. Why have we had 3 early releases so far if the teachers aren't able to access the materials?

You know for sure the answer and just play dumb. Cold temperature will not close school, this entire topic is SNOW day. The cold tomorrow will make the situation (icy road) worse.

Talk to Fairfax County government. They are the ones that run SACC. FCPS does not run it at all.

It’s made available in intervals, not all at once.

Mad mommy wants to spew her nonsense

Mad mommy loves snow days (and frankly thinks we should be closed given the state of the roads), but enjoys seeing stupid decisions have immediate karmic repercussions. Turns out this was a bad year to get rid of snow days in an effort to curry favor with teachers.

Ok;) So you are still triggered by the state mandated trainings there is a whole thread on that you can continue being mad on.

No the state mandated training is fine. London and Richmond knocked them out in three days.

Reid turning a state mandated training into seven days off for teachers by reducing the number of snow days…and now realizing she might actually need those snow days for snow…that’s just comedy. The fact that she also went on record saying how inequitable virtual learning on snow days would be is icing on the cake.

Are you drunk? Elementary teachers have 7 EARLY RELEASE days to do the state-mandated trainings. That means that students are in school and are released three hours early. No one traded snow days for teachers to be off.

Also, virtual learning on snow days is a waste of time. The state won’t give credit for it as an actual school day, so why bother?

Please stop drinking or just being stupid.

SEVEN half days?! That’s even more stupid! Whoever made that a thing should be fired!

Sounds like you love to fired people (that don’t even work for you lol)… you must love that apprentice TV show …

I love that the star of that show affects your life so much that you can’t even talk about snow without mentioning them!
