[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any MCPS teachers who are at one of these schools that will become an extended year? Can you share how it’s supoosed to work? Will you be fairly compensated? [/quote]

I was on a committee last year that dealt with this idea in an indirect way and word was that the teachers in these two schools won't be paid their hourly/daily rate for the extra school days. It will be in some form of a stipend which comes out to be less than their hourly/daily rate. Many of the teachers at those two schools tried to transfer when that info came out. [/quote]

I think rather than ask the regular teachers to "drag out" the school year, the summer months should be a mixture of schooling and camp with a different group of teachers and staff. Rather than teach new curriculum, they reinforce what was just learned that year. The staff would be there voluntarily rather than forced in a pilot program.

[b]Right now, the teachers who don't want an extended school year have an incentive to make the pilot fail. Right there we have a conflict of interest. The teachers involved in the pilot should be the ones who support the idea and want to see it succeed.[/b][/quote]
