[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC schools serve a more economically disadvantaged population that will need more supports for distance learning than the surrounding districts. I suspect they are thinking about that.[/quote]

Are they more economically disadvantaged than Baltimore City Schools?  They chose virtual for safety.  If they can....so can DC. [/quote]

[b]Arlington, Fairfax, and Montgomery Counties also have large areas with economically disadvantaged populations. [/b]At least in Fairfax, a majority of those populations indicated that they preferred virtual learning. [/quote]

DC is not even close to these other counties in terms of its population. Seventy-seven percent of DC public schools students are economically disadvantaged, defined as free or reduced lunch or public assistance. In comparison, 28 percent of Fairfax, 33 percent of Montgomery, and 29 percent of Arlington county students received free/reduced lunch. So DC does have to think about these issues because they potentially impact most students.[/quote]
