[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet the Council just reformed virtual the other week.  With no power.[/quote]

They added a hundred kids because they could do that without it costing any $. Anything real would have required a full legislative process and would not have been possible this year. So no, that was a tweak but not a reform.[/quote]

Well it also requires something like 1,200 kids in charters to go virtual (unfunded, of course).  [/quote]

This is a reason I don't think we should remove mayoral control.  The Council, 6 weeks after school started, required new virtual options to be stood up at every charter LEA, while not providing funding for any of it.  That is a terrible way to run schools and promote in-person learning (which the Council still expresses is "the best option).  You can disagree or agree with whether the Council made the right action, but the disruption of this type of governance suggests it ain't good to allow more of it.[/quote]
