[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the 10 million inclusive of regular per pupil spending? If so it’s not that much higher than in person spending per child[/quote]

If it's on top of the all the base costs, it's an additional 10 million...which would mean they are spending twice as much to educate kids from home....and additional $25k per student that could have gone to supplementing Virtual Virginia rather than APS rolling their own. [/quote]

I didn't realize $10M for VLP was in addition to the $25k/student.. how did that ever get approved?? [/quote]

The school board is unwilling to challenge Duran on anything.  They don’t ever want to look like they are undermining him.  My discussions with board members last year made that perfectly and publicly clear. They are more sensitive to that than to any damage he causes, of which there is plenty.[/quote]

So pathetic. Why are they afraid to undermine him?? [/quote]

During her public office hours, Nancy Van Doren agreed with my particular complaint.  She said that she would ask Duran for clarification, but she clearly stated that she would do nothing to challenge it because she wasn’t going to undermine the new superintendent.

You can judge for yourself whether being “new” was the only consideration.[/quote]

Reading between the lines here, and I've had the same thoughts on why he's not challenged. [/quote]

It’s an anonymous board. I hat do your tea leaves say? Nobody wants to bother the minority guy?[/quote]
