[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. ? 
[/quote]

NO.  He allowed the schools to open hybrid which is why it is even worse that they didn't.[/quote]
