This.  The Board of Education Meeting was embarrassing.  I certainly hope they are doing more on this outside of these announced meeting times, because they made zero progress in that meeting.  I can't believe these are the people making decisions for this huge district.  They are entirely focused on the achievement gap and making sure everyone gets meals (yes, important, but so is education).  There was very little about school in the Fall.[/quote]

I think a lot of parents aren't following this closely, and just assume it'll be either full time or part-time in-person when August 31 rolls around. They're in for a big surprise.

You don't need to be following closely; you just need to think of the massive amount of planning and execution required for a successful hybrid/part-time in person approach, and the (in)capabilities of a system as large as MCPS to pull that off successfully in the time that it has.  (I guess we could have some sort of Trumpian miracle and full-time in-person school in the fall, but that actually would be even harder to impossible if you also want some modicum of social-distancing and safety protocols.)  There is such a yawning gap between what MCPS may want to do and what it can do, and there are things that it must do (e.g., feed kids who depend on schools for meals, and that problem will only get worse this fall).  People get completely bent out of shape when this is pointed out, so I guess they will just need to be surprised.[/quote]

And yet all the neighboring counties have managed to figure it out.[/quote]

They actually haven’t. FCPS VA is foaming mad right now.[/quote]
