It’s this. And frankly I do NOT think it was a backlash against schools having closed from 3/20-3/21 or masks. I think it was a lot more about how the schools are handling this now and how they are likely to moving forward. FCPS’s survey on calendar came out around the same time as the election and in it I was pretty shocked to find the question about using asynchronous days as an option even next year. Nova generally supported school closure as necessary 3/20-3/21 but even we are done now and ready to be moving on. [/quote]

yeah I think one article I read mentioned the spontaneous unplanned days off/asynch days this fall as a factor.[/quote]

Will the school year get extended? Don’t kids need a certain # of in-person days this school year by law?

I don't know, it's all very confusing.  I also thought that the rules on seat-time were pretty rigid. It seems like schools think they can now go "asyncronous" without having to be worried about that?  And I share the frustration of a parent upthread who was told in the past that it would be impossible to do more recess.  Come on - if we can shave off 30 minutes for administrative reasons we can just give them recess! Would be nice if the interests of what everyone knows is best for kids was somewhere in the top ten of priorities ... [/quote]

Maybe they built in extra days for "virtual days" just like they used to do for "snow days".
