[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the conversation, and the data, I think a fair and reasonable solution would be:

1) Eliminate MVA for K-5, as it is not working

2) Keep MVA for 6-12, but only for kids for whom it is necessary. Essentially, require a 504 or IEP the way you would any other accommodation that fits under FAPE.

3) Reconfirm with home schools their obligation to include MVA students in extracurriculars, and make sure MVA parents know who to call if that doesn't happen. [/quote]

If they keep it, families should agree to unscheduled home visits to ensure that kids aren't being abused.[/quote]

Then, they should do that for all mcps students.  Being in virtual has nothing to do with abuse.  Why don’t we start with your home first since you think it’s a great idea?   Or, mcps could increase funding to the MVA to pay for your brilliant idea as whose doing that?[/quote]

Of course there's a higher risk of abuse when parents have locked their kids at home.[/quote]

Actually no, kids can be abused in both school situations so home visits for all.  Your house will be the first to be visited.  And, that will be a new separate program and where will that money come from?   When cameras are on, teachers see the kids….[/quote]
