Thought it would be good to start a discussion place on what our thoughts are on this.

TL;DR -- Families must choose online only or 2 days in-person with online learning on other 2 days.  And they must decide by July 10th.

Quote from p.41 of the PowerPoint:  [b] "Understand that FCPS cannot guarantee availability of all programs and course offerings (e.g. immersion, magnet, IB, AP. specialized electives); program/course offerings may be limited due to teacher availability and scheduling constraints."[/b]

How are families supposed to make a decision with such a big unknown?  I don't know how I could make that decision if we are given it here in MCPS.[/quote]

I think its better than the giant ball of nada we have. I like the idea that they are trying to get everyone to pick and then they can staff accordingly.[/quote]

FCPS parent here -- they are having families and parents pick at the same time.  So we are picking without having any idea of what the staffing will look like.  Kids who opt to go in person may not even be going to their regular school if the numbers don't support it.  So, yes, we are choosing but the choice is a blind choice between two horrible options.  And, the hybrid option is actually going to be less safe once you realize that three days a week, kids will be in daycares or hanging out with friends that aren't at their school/class, so you are exposed to more germs than if everyone went in 5 days a week.[/quote]
