I think this is the issue. I watched the BOE meeting earlier this week. MCPS is still in the "trying to figure things out" stage. Doing any in-person schooling, even 2 days/week, requires massive planning. School starts in 8 weeks. I am very skeptical they can prepare for in-person in such a short time.

Think of a basic issue like installing a divider on buses between the driver and students. There are 1,000+ buses. How long does it take to order that, receive it, and install them? That alone would be a 4+ week project. Next.. hand sanitizer dispensers outside all 10,000+ classrooms. How long would it take to install all those?

Fairfax made the decision 2 weeks ago to offer DL or hybrid options, and I'm sure they are busy every day doing all the prep work for return to school. I really doubt MCPS is doing the same. We go to the playground outside our ES, and I don't see any work trucks parked in the parking lot, as you'd expect if they were installing stuff.[/quote]

That’s ridiculous. They have had months and months to be planning already, and have another 2 months. It is not like they are starting to plan now. All the other school districts in the area around here appear to be willing and able to offer a hybrid option. MCPS is going to have to do so, too. [/quote]

MCPS doesn’t have to do anything just because you want them to. They’ll make a decision based on what they are capable of executing. [/quote]
