MoCo never submitted a plan.[/quote]

Says who?[/quote]

Says the governor, the county executive, and the superintendent. [/b] Just last week, the county executive posted a diatribe on twitter complaining that releasing metrics for reopening was unfair (never mind that he asked for them repeatedly) because MCPS had put all of its resources into planning for distance learning.  MCPS has hundreds of 12-month employees.  It's unclear why some couldn't be working on in-person reopening and some couldn't be working on distance learning.  They have enough people that a third team could have been working on a hybrid option. We're going to have school in-person again some day, right?  And on that day -- whether it's five months from now or five years from now -- COVID-19 will still be a threat.  As the WHO has said repeatedly, it's well past time to start figuring out how to live with the virus.

And for all those here who say distance learning is fine, great!  I guess we won't hear you complain about overcrowded schools because kids can learn by sitting in front of a computer just as well.  We could save so much money on school buildings, not to mention teachers to teach in them.  We could just retain the best teachers to go on video and hire lowly paid teaching assistants to take care of grading.  Sounds like a winner![/quote]

The governor, the county executive, and the superintendent have all said that MCPS never submitted the required plan? Really? Where and when did they say this?[/quote]
