[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS sent an email out this week saying people can't log in from outside of the continental United States anymore unless they their principal or assistant principal fills out some application.

Another layer of red tape for anyone trying to take a trip to Hawaii for an extended spring break it looks like.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows what prompted this? Was their a cyber security threat and a large number of folks logging in from abroad?[/quote]

Nah, they can still take the trip. They will just be officially absent. Which is ok. Staff can use leave. Student absences can be excused (or not) by admin.

I think there’s an effort to make sure enrolled students live in the district.

WRT staff, the location should not matter.  I teach in another district. I had three days of medical testing at Hopkins recently. A parent who works at Hopkins spotted me. She approached me to about 6 feet away and asked if I was “M_. Whomever”, her teacher’s kid. I replied yes. We chatted briefly about her kid and school in general and then she left. Two days later, my principal emailed to ask me if I had been in Baltimore that day. I said yes. Then he asked why I didn’t take leave. I told him that I taught two classes, attended a meeting, and did my planning/grading at the hospital. His reply was “Okay.” Not “Okay, sorry I bothered you without checking first that you met your obligations that day.” Or “Okay, hope everything works out for you medically.”[/quote]

That mom's a bitch. [/quote]
