[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS is going to have a DL option next year. I suspect it will be an all-county virtual program because there won’t be enough demand at each local school. It will also prob be an elect in and can only move to in-person if there is available space. As so many of the AEM-ers love to say: if you don’t like it, go private or elsewhere. APS is a public school and the brick and mortar neighborhood schools need to focus on in-person instruction. [/quote]

How will this work for those students at option schools? Would students with medical issues have to give up their spots at HB, immersion, etc. just because they’re sick? That doesn’t seem right. I [/quote]

no this isn't right at all and very well could lead to a lawsuit.

Clearly the open uppers don't care about high risk kids but then they never ever did. [/quote]

Eh, maybe, but I just don't see how they can staff a school-based DL option next year. I think its a non-starter. [/quote]

Isn’t it exactly this concern that is making “AEM” so unhappy with SB 1303? Without an express requirement that schools offer a DL option, schools may not. It doesn’t seem like an unreasonable concern. [/quote]

If there are enough families interested in DL APS will do it. The problem is that there are school districts where very few kids will stay DL. You cannot force school districts to devote resources to an all DL program when the state already has one! Don’t fret, APS will have one unless literally like only 20 kids stay virtual. There are kids every year who have to switch to VV for medical reasons. [/quote]
