[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right- I understand (from DCUM) that neither Murch nor Lafayette is doing simulcasting. If that is true, then that’s not an explanation for the difference between Janney and the other schools. [/quote]

I read that language to mean that because Lafayette and Murch WERE doing simulcasting for some of Q3, they can bring in all the kids who were simulcasting now for in-person class without changing the class assignments -- which Janney can't do, because there was never simulcasting in the first place and so bringing in more classes would require shuffling up all the homeroom assignments, which isn't permitted. But maybe I'm misunderstanding it, the whole thing has been quite complicated.[/quote]

Murch leadership said they prioritized keeping classes the same (based on parent feedback), hence the simulcasting.  And my sense was that they were also looking forward to being able to expand the IPL in Q4, or at least setting up Q3 to make that easier.  (My guess is that they expected to When DC relaxed the six-foot rule, they just expanded it to four days a week for everyone who wanted IPL.

FWIW, my sense from my kid is that simulcasting was a little rough at first, but that it's going pretty well now.  They're making good use of some technology to integrate the at-home and the IP students, and reduce the amount of time the IP students have to spend looking at a screen.  [/quote]
