[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:33 :
Has the MCPs board discussed and "authorize the use of virtual education days in severe weather conditions. Before this authorization is given to local school superintendents, the county school board must discuss this topic at an open meeting and vote affirmatively on the authorization."?

• The county school board shall publish the county’s plan for virtual education on the LEA’s website.

• The county superintendent may decide to provide a day of virtual education (not less than four hours of synchronous instruction) only if the LEA has used all the days incorporated into its calendar for school closures for severe weather conditions."

Doesn't sound like a state thing.[/quote]

Well, it is a "state thing" in that there is now state law governing this. 
I think the bigger issue for MCPS is that they have to use all the identified make-up instruction days before they can do it. As discussed ad nauseum on a prior thread, the January and March dates were/are non-starters for MCPS, so there is no way they are using all the identified days. There is really no point in discussing it at the BOE level, given that they are not willing to use the identified make-up days.[/quote]
