Teachers union and MCPS signed agreement that teachers will get at least 45 day notice before opening.

My guess is OP meant they did the 10 month payment plan so they haven’t paid all that much yet and just plan to stop making payments.

It also struck me as sad that it was my husband this and that. He’s a lawyer. And he says.

Momma please think for yourself. Its 2020 not 1920.

HOS said.

Momma please think for yourself.

MCPS said.

Momma please think for yourself.

Signed.

Either way there are going to be a lot of private school parents withdrawing especially for those schools who pulled the old switcheroo and pretended they were going in person and then switched to DL at the last minute. A mass exodus is coming.

Word on the street. Go away, nerdy troll.

This has got to be one of the weirder OP postings that I’ve read on this forum. But it’s sort of comical.

50 % here. Yes on the messaging but no on the monthly contract. I don't think you are in the hook for all year, but it is not month to month.

You belong in public. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

You can take the mom out of public, but you can’t take the public out of...well, you know.

Lol. There you are.

As an independent school teacher, I hope you do go back to public. The public school parents who fled public in a panic are the most demanding parents in our community, and they’re disrespectful to staff members. The long-standing families who witness such behavior are embarrassed for them. Also, even privates that haven’t announced yet will be back by early November, likely at greater capacity than MCPS. But I’m not going to talk you into sticking around. And you can sue, but you’ll lose. I’ve seen it happen. Hopefully you have tuition insurance or a school head who just doesn’t want to deal with you.

I agree. I’ve wondered whether one must be a *^#! to get a response at a public school. Too much resource competition. Dunno

I am a long-standing family at another school to which public school families have fled. Fine. Just go away. Leave us to our own families who actually are invested in the community long-term and who do not view our school as just a temporary “means to an end.”. Please. Go back.

OP, you do realize your kids will likely not see the inside of a classroom this academic year. Prepare for more distance learning. And then when the classroom instruction begins, know that they will be teaching to the lowest common denominator based on the fact that many kids just did not do any learning since fall/winter of 2019.

Friday’s notification will begin formal conversations and bargaining, and will focus on the possibility of bringing small groups of the school district’s highest-needs students back, according to union President Chris Lloyd. The school district is not yet considering bringing all students back into buildings for a hybrid of in-person and remote classes, Lloyd said.

In an interview on Friday night, Lloyd emphasized that the notice does not mean that students will definitively return to schools in roughly six weeks. Rather, he said, it signals the district wants to work collaboratively with the unions to plan for when it is safe.
