[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain:

1) Why did FCPS sign this voluntary agreement?

2) Why was FCPS singled out for an OCR investigation?  What happened in FCPS to special education students from 2020-2022 was not terribly unique.

I do not understand the dynamic and politics of the settlement at all.  [/quote]

They picked a few large school districts in the US for this investigation.  [b]School districts all over the US did WAAAAAAY less than FCPS did but because we're big and always in the news, we got singled out.[/b]  FCPS was following the guidance they were given by VDOE but someone decided that wasn't good enough.

where is this data? it is hard to do less than nothing.[/quote]

Yeah, okay...the teachers did nothing.  My kids were online every, single day with their teachers learning the curriculum.  My child who receives special education services was pulled into small groups online just like she would have been had she been in person.  She got her accommodations and she got instruction.  You people who keep saying the teachers did nothing are flat out lying.  I simply do not believe you.  I understand that some related services such as speech and OT got the shaft, particularly since it's hard to provide those services virtually.  But do not lie and say your kid literally got no instruction for a year.  [/quote]I think they are referring to receiving no ‘special Ed’ services for a whole year.  No pullouts, no 1 on 1s, no small groups.  This did happen to my DC.  [/quote]

I’d be willing to bet at least half of the people saying their children received no instruction really mean “my kid didn’t want to sit/logon to virtual school and instead of forcing the issue/monitoring them during school time I just threw my hands up”. [/quote]Rubbish.   It’s contrary.   The parents of these learning-challenged kids were providing their own tutoring while also juggling their jobs.  The virtual setting with 67 page PowerPoint decks was not stimulating for 7-8 year olds.  Their attention was lost and it was hard for them to stay engaged.  It was a very trying time for the families and the special Ed services were non-existent.  [/quote]

RUBBISH![/quote]
