[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS better get their act together by the fall and have kids back 5 days. This is beyond ridiculous.[/quote]

Governor Northam has a bill at his desk (SB 1303) to require 5 days in-person except in cases of high in-building spread of COVID-19 (which shouldn't happen with masking and widespread vaccination) for fall. Encourage him to sign it. Then FCPS will have to literally break the law to offer less.[/quote]

He has already indicated he will sign it. There will be 5 days in person (which includes the teachers in person, per the language of the bill) with some sort of virtual option for those students who choose it. [/quote]

And that will be the downfall for FCPS. Pulling together [b]a virtual that is fair and equal and makes everyone happy[/b]. [/quote]

Maybe but plenty of people are not happy this year either. I think this year was the school year people who wanted in-person 5 days had to suck it up and deal. Next school year it will be the all virtual people who will have to suck it up and deal. It’s not pretty, but I think it is true. And reasonable. Is that compromise - no one 100% happy? “Everyone” will not be happy next year, just like this year.[/quote]

unfortunately, FCPS will go down to the lowest group which will be DL. So they will plan a whole school year on making things safe for the small group that still wants DL.[/quote]

This. If the top priority is the SB definition of equality then all planning will have to be done for the DL families first since they need the most accommodation.

The sad thing is, that isn't really the group needing the most support. The special needs and pre-K kids who simply dropped out of the system (Brookings had an article about it, specifically for Virginia), the kids who were for whatever reason unwilling or unable to do DL, kids with IEPs who got no actual accommodations this year - THOSE kids need the most support. Not most of the kids who for whatever reason want to stick with DL next year.[/quote]
