[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to require the school to pull a specialist to do a catchup? [/quote] No. The law does not state that your child is required to be taught by a specialist. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/admincode/title8/agency20/chapter671/section320/ They must have a high school diploma, and 2 years of college or work experience. That's it. For the $200/day FCPS pays a long term sub, you are getting a warm body who hopefully is handed materials by other teachers in the department, because they aren't paid enough to do a full teacher job. I'm sorry, it sucks. In a perfect world, the school would employ a "floater" teacher in each department, fully licensed in the subject matter. There is 0 budget for that though. Your best solution is to throw money at it from home if it's a subject that builds year to year (i.e. math or foreign language)[/quote]
