Anyone here have children in Frederick County schools?

If yes, do we know what they plan to do in the fall?

Thank you for this. So it looks like as long as MD is in Phase II, there will be a combination of DL and in-class learning, but we won't know for sure until the end of July or early August.

“ The FCPS Stage 2 Yellow plan affords students face-to-face instruction two days a week and virtual learning three days a week. It is imperative to note that virtual learning does not equate to seven hours each day of synchronous learning for students. FCPS does not possess the human resource capacity to provide both face-to-face instruction and synchronous instruction five days a week for seven hours.”

I've heard (only heard) that the hybrid is the first choice.

Students split - A to L, M to Z
A-L attends face2face M, Tu.
W is a day off, with deep cleaning.
Th, Fri, A to L is online, and M to Z is face2face. M to Z is online M, Tu.

assuming that there's deep cleaning over the weekend as well

The document gives the options, include Phase III as full-time in-school learning.. but doesnt' really define how they determine which phase to implement. Or am I misreading it?

The way I understood is that they will follow the state guidelines on what Phase to implement. I could be wrong though.

“Enhanced cleaning is triggered when an employee or student is identified as positive for COVID-19 based on testing. Enhanced cleaning will be performed as soon as a positive test results is confirmed.“

What happens when a teacher or another with probably coronavirus (classic symptoms) has been present in the building all day (say a Friday), but test results can not be obtained until maybe the following Thursday? Are children and substitutes sent into the classroom without any enhanced cleaning?

This makes a lot of sense to me. Seems reasonable.

If that plan was implemented with my class from this past school year, I would have had 7 kids (out of 24) on two of the instructional days. The majority of my students had last names beginning with letters in the latter part of the alphabet.

That’s an excellent point. The better way is just to assign the days not based on last names.

Good point. I don’t know how they would evenly distribute the kids. I do like that this would mean my 2nd and 4th graders would be there on the same day.

I think parents will want their kids on the same schedules. Maybe individual teachers can tinker if the classes are way off. Asking for volunteers to switch..

So is the assumption that a specific teacher will only be in an in-person classroom 2 times a week and will do distance learning the rest of the week?
Or are they expected to do in-person M,T, R, F and if so, who is doing the virtual teaching?

Bumping this. What is the latest with FCPS for fall?
