[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like these three professional days will be counted as instructional days.  PA does this in that they have a few days where teachers have professional development but they still count as instructional days for students.  In this case, one day would be designated as a professional day for each of the three school levels.  They would offer instructional/enrichment opportunities (optional it seems) for students at that level to engage in that day while teachers plan.  On the two days when your school level isn't involved, regular instruction would take place.  Not sure why they're spread out like this.  Seems like you could accomplish it all on one day, but whatever. At least they count as instructional days and don't drag out the calendar.  [/quote]

Do kids go to school while the teachers are doing PD? Is the instruction just by subs? That is very confusing. I thought only in-person school counted, not asynchronous.[/quote]

Elem kids can sign up for those “out of school” programs that have been run by MoCo rec. It will be free and will have transportation. It sounded like the middle and high school kids would be able to opt into off site programming too, but they haven’t figured it out yet. None of these things will be required or graded but they are exploring the details of how to track attendance/participation. As the pp said, students will have regular school on the other two PD/I days with regular teachers. [/quote]

Thank you for the update![/quote]
