[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]

MCPS has plenty of money for what they choose to do.  Watch the BOE meetings with all their change orders and new initiatives they seem to find money for, some far more expensive than the MVA.  They regularly have change orders that add up to more than the MVA.  If they funded the MVA as a real school vs. a program, the money per pupil would go directly to the MVA and problem solved.[/quote]

And that would leave schools even worse off.[/quote]
