[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for everyone all posted that the school boards must pay for closing schools during the pandemic. . .

Wasn’t it the school administration who made that call on in-person/hybrid/concurrent?

What local school board insisted on opening schools that an administrator insisted on keeping closed? I realize this is a non-FCPS board, but the superintendent there wanted to open with hybrid in the fall, while the SB insisted on keeping their heads up their butts for political reasons. [/quote]

Continuation. To be fair, that same superintendent made opening impractical after handing out ADAs like Halloween candy.  [/quote]

But did the FCPS school board actually vote on it?

I don't think that school boards have the power to decide if schools are open/close/hybrid/concurrent. That's an operational decision.

I agree with you that I don't think the FCPS school board had a vote on it.  It seemed purely operational and almost completely dependent on whether they could staff a reopening.  Turns out they couldn't (as other school systems also experienced) so they moved to a hybrid option.[/quote]

So what would have a R governor done if a school system couldn't staff reopening in the fall?

[/quote]

At minimum - not mandate schools close regardless of what future variant comes this way - which is what the Ds did.[/quote]

Northam didn’t mandate school closures in fall 2020. ?

DP.  Correct.  I have family in various areas in the southern half of VA.  Lots of school systems in the rest of Virginia were either open or hybrid last fall.  People in this area who think the entire commonwealth was shut down are under the wrong impression.[/quote]
