Even the URL has the word "Draft" in it, implying it's not actually the final plan. 2 weeks to go -- when will they have a finalized plan?[/quote]

“The Board of Education will vote to approve a final plan on Tuesday, August 25.”

Yikes. Finalizing a plan 3 business days before school starts? How is that fair to all the people who need to implement it? The BOE is setting them up for failure. [/quote]

The general timings will probably stay the same. There may be small changes.[/quote]

And it's not the BOE, exactly.  It's the MCPS management that was not prepared with adequate answers to community questions relayed by the Board with respect to the schedule.  This is especially true with regard to full-day Zoom instruction for the youngest learners in K-2.  Lots of people are concerned that they don't have the attention span for the plan, don't have facility with Zoom to go on and off screen per the detailed day plans (so parents will need to be "on" to assist either all day, or every 15 minutes.  The plan may stay the same, but it's not because parents don't have concerns, it's because it is hard to turn the Titanic.[/quote]
