[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The resident virtual school lover must be losing her mind over the prospect of letting her kids leave her sight.

There's always homeschool![/quote]

Oh my... you simply don't get it.  Must be nice to be self-absorbed and only care about your needs vs. the needs of others.[/quote]

My kid also has some needs that public schools can't seem to fill, so we pay for a private school. Maybe you need to find a virtual school platform and pay for it yourself.  Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for your conveniences. [/quote]

[b]Virtual public school options existed way before the pandemic, especially in large districts.[/b]  In a district as large as MCPS, it should definitely continue to be an option.  It could potentially grow to help more students for half day schedules, unique electives and night classes.  Plenty of other fat to cut from the budget, especially at Hungerford/Gude.  [/quote]

Which ones?  Most of the virtual programs I know about are administered at the state level.  FL has many large school districts similar to the size of MCPS, but they don't have their own virtual programs.  Same with Virginia.  Every time someone asks for examples of large district level virtual programs, no one can provide it.[/quote]

Let it go.  The state is not going to run it.  Why do you keep pushing that?[/quote]

Why are you so resistant to the idea?  It's looking more and more like MCPS won't run it after the funding runs out either, so you'll be on your own.  Best of luck.[/quote]
The Maryland constitution requires counties to run schools. I don’t think this is really an option .[/quote]
