[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That being said, the per-home-school numbers aren't particularly meaningful anyway. The cumulative numbers tell the story. VA is too small on its own and should be combined at the state level.[/quote]

This.  The best thing VA proponents can do is lobby for a robust statewide option.  I'm not sure why they are so invested in keeping VA at the MCPS level when they have no intention of ever returning in person anyway.  As enrollment at the MCPS level dwindles, so will course offerings, etc.  You need a bigger pool of student long-term to make it work.[/quote]

A state wide would not be a good option.  Mcps is pushing hs kids to MC.  [/quote]

NP. I think PP makes a lot of sense--statewide VA is likely the only way to get any virtual option, given how few kids are choosing it. [/quote]
And until Annapolis does anything, MCPS will continue offering it. Annapolis will probably throw money at MCPS to include students in other counties rather than try to set a statewide system up. Much like the Montgomery County Youth Orchestra became the Maryland Classic Youth Orchestra for a few bucks. Maryland follows MoCo around like a kid brother.[/quote]

Or, maybe they did it to be more inclusive because its not just MoCo kids.[/quote]
