[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm wondering is why MCPS gave up on the asynchronous learning day concept that was done two years ago.  I mean people complained about it for sure, but we thought this was better than tacking an extra day onto the end of the year.  Kids got some work that they had like 10 days to complete and it counted as a school day.  So no conflict with the teacher contract because it wasn't virtual learning, and students could still take the day off for a religious observance.  I'm not suggesting having four of these but why not at least have this option? [/quote]

Maryland no longer allows asynchronous days. The rule changed to require at least four hour of synchronous instruction on any virtual learning days.[/quote]

But this was just in April 2024. [b] Are you saying MCPS passed a rule prohibiting asynchronous learning since then?[/b]

What I recall is that parents complained because they had to take the day off.....but it was scheduled non-instructional day to begin with, so that was kind of a weird complaint.  Also, it had buy-in from the teachers' union.  [/quote]

Not MCPS, but MSDE. Effective with the 24-25 school year.[/quote]
