[quote]    [quote]Do you know if the synchronous instruction will be just for students who choose 100% DL? People are confused about whether there will be synchronous instructions for students who choose a blended option once schools are able to reopen. (There are numerous threads debating this point.) Thanks. - Parent

+1 MCPS Teacher - Can you please answer this? I am confused about this as well (as are many people). Thanks! [/quote]
I don't. I'll be watching the BOE meeting for clarity today, along with everyone else.  :)

In FCPS plan, they discussed specifically that the hybrid plan meant that when the other cohort was live, the off-site cohort was independent. Frederick's plan has shortened in-person hours so that the teacher can check in with the off-site group at the start and end of the day. No matter how I've tried to slice and dice groups of kids and teachers, I keep being limited by teacher time. In DL learning the teacher-student ratio is 1:24. In F2F the ratio is 1:12. Any time that you put towards F2F has to be taken away from DL time. This is like general staffing ratios. Focus schools have 1:18 normally in K-2 and non-Focus have 1:25. If you wanted to support 1:12 in Focus schools for full time in-person, you would have to increase the ratio at other schools to maybe 1:28 in order to keep the same amount of staff.[/quote]
