What are MVA families planning to do now? [/quote]

The same thing they had been doing for decades before the MVA was created for Covid - the kids who have medical issues necessitating that they stay home will receive IIS instruction. Families can apply to have the county pay for private virtual learning in some cases. In the case of families that used the MVA for their kids because their kid was shy, socially awkward, bullied at school, etc. (i.e., no medical issues) they will return to their home school or apply for a prioritized COSA and go back in-person at another school.[/quote]

bullied  kids have to move schools?[/quote]

Of course they don't have to - who said they did?[/quote]

They always do have to move. Who says? The victims.[/quote]

Oh, ok. Still sounds like a choice to me. [/quote]

Maybe you would keep your chain a bad situation but any decent parent who could would get them out of there. [/quote]

Yes - parents often make different CHOICES for their children. I agree 100%[/quote]
