[quote=Anonymous]Wilson' mailer for the Democratic primary mentioned that 2k students left ACPS and he viewed it as a positive for the city budget. Dr. Hutchings stated that the number of students who left during the pandemic year was only 1k, with the majority being kindergarten students whose parents sent them to private or private preschools. He said those families intend to reenroll in ACPS. How does either have accurate numbers? Only the last few weeks has our principal's newsletter asked for families who are not reenrolling to contact the registrar of their home school. The family choice form for 2021-2022 didn't have a way to indicate you were not coming back. I know my neighbors and friends who are not returning to ACPS were unable to indicate so on the form, so they chose that they were returning. I think the numbers are going to be higher than 2K. Though I heard that 94% of families selected the in person learning versus Virtual Virginia. Anyone have any info from the school board meeting as to the demographic breakdown? I'm curious who is continuing to stay home. I have elementary school aged kids and I'm super nervous about the return to school as usual after the pandemic year. I don't think it's a smart choice. But my kids wanted to go back to shcool and our community spread rates are very low. I just worry about the Delta variant for very young kids who can't yet get vaccinated. [/quote]
