[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like they still haven't actually talked about reopening yet, have they?[/quote]
I was also curious on that.[/quote]

They seemed to go on recess without address reopening metrics.  It's not clear if they're going to move on to the next agenda topic given that they're running so far behind schedule.  But that would be ridiculous, given that it seems like it should be one of the most important topics.

If they don't come back to that, [b]it's a pretty clear sign the superintendent and BoE don't expect to reopen this school year[/b].[/quote]

Really? It's not like this is the last BoE meeting until next summer. They meet regularly. There's another meeting on September 22, for example.[/quote]

I stand by that statement.

Not addressing reopening in any meaningful way indicates two key points.  First, that they're not prioritizing in-person instruction.  And two, that the Superintendent doesn't really care what the BoE thinks, and isn't going to actively engage the Board with reopening decisions.  Since the MCPS administration has already demonstrated they're beholden to the teachers with the ridiculous 45-day notice MOU, it seems quite likely that reopening won't happen unless an external force (namely, the BoE) puts pressure on the superintendent to do that.  Letting the superintendent avoid that issue also indicates that the BoE is happy to be left out of that decision as well.[/quote]
