[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The next battle will be around the online option. Staffing and what courses to offer. There absolutely will be an online option as long as there isn’t a pediatric vaccine, and if the pediatric vaccine takes a very long time, there could be an online option indefinitely if people get used to it and like it. Virtual Virginia won’t be the online option because FCPS doesn’t get funding for those students and they don’t want to give up $$. If FCPS decides to do the DL classes at each school like they are now, get ready for another school year of concurrent, even hybrid concurrent. Because they don’t have the staffing to run two school systems. If they can create a county-wide online campus, that could work and we could be free of the “going to school to watch teacher on a computer” nonsense, BUT they may be reluctant to do that because the online kids liked wouldn’t get the same course offerings as the in person kids.

The fact that they won’t relax the 6 feet rule is also a problem that could lead to hybrid next school year as well. Seems like they want no Covid at all before they relax the distancing requirements. [/quote]

These are the biggest issues I can see.

The other would be if they fall back to using CDC's "community spread" guidelines over VDOE's "spread in school matrixed with community spread" guidelines. If they do that, then who knows when hybrid would end? The community spread guidelines from CDC to be full-time in-person are absurdly low.

In Brabrand's most recent family town hall he mentioned using an "equity" lens around online campuses, which in my read means another year of concurrent learning because they won't get creative to figure out how to do anything else (and they'll already have the concurrent technology plus have a lot more funding coming in from Biden's new stimulus).[/quote]
