[quote=Anonymous]Is this plan possible? What are the barriers to making this happen? It seems to use/expand existing programs while addressing concerns of parents and teachers that are not comfortable returning in person:

Can we simply do two tracks this fall:

1) 5 day in person

2) Full time virtual via Virtual Virginia.

Just poll parents and teachers in April/May and spend the next 3/4 months planning and allocating resources.

Track 1 is acceptable to those that are comfortable with returning in person given projected vaccine availability by Summer 2021. Masks would still be required, but are good practice for other things, like the flu, and should not preclude track 1.

Track 2 avoids hybrid/concurrent. If there are not enough slots available at Virtual Virginia, FCPS could commit resources to support enrollment for FCPS students who opt for it, and teacher participation for those who don’t want in person. It is basic resource allocation.

We have plenty of time to do this. What are the barriers to achieving a goal that meets almost everyone’s needs?  Teachers that want to stay virtual can. Students that want to stay virtual can. Everyone else is in person 5 days a week. We the time now. The budget is not set in stone yet. Let’s do this![/quote]
