[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly did Dr. Taylor accomplish with this meeting? As he stated, he can’t undo the decision so why was this a priority?[/quote]

He learned he can undo the decision.[/quote]

There's no money, and even more, there's no time to "undo" the closure. School assignments for teachers have been updated. Some teachers have resigned.  Attempting to reopen MVA at this point would leave a large number of students in schools and MVA without teachers.

I don't understand what the MVA families expect at this point. They lost the battle to keep MVA in place. They'd be better off refocusing on lobbying the state to create a virtual program rather than complaining about a decision that can't be undone.[/quote]

It'd be easy to find enough teachers to staff. I don't care either way, but to say they can't undo it is just plain wrong. You just don't WANT them to undo it. Big difference.[/quote]

It would only be easy to find enough teachers for MVA if you don't care about finding teachers for the schools the former MVA teachers have been reassigned to. You might not care about that, but that's where the vast majority of MCPS students go.[/quote]

The MVA teachers have been reassigned already. They'd be hiring new teachers to take the MVA positions if it was reinstated. What is so difficult about this to understand? [/quote]

You don't think the former MVA teachers would have something to say about that? MCEA would support them and it would turn into a giant mess.

And that assumes money would magically fall from the sky into MCPS's lap.

Surely you don't think that MCPS could create a budget, create and post the positions, interview candidates, vet those selected, and onboard the hires and an entire program in a month's time, do you?

What are the last remaining MVA supporters doing at this point?[/quote]
