[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain:

1) Why did FCPS sign this voluntary agreement?

2) Why was FCPS singled out for an OCR investigation?  What happened in FCPS to special education students from 2020-2022 was not terribly unique.

I do not understand the dynamic and politics of the settlement at all.  [/quote]

They picked a few large school districts in the US for this investigation.  [b]School districts all over the US did WAAAAAAY less than FCPS did but because we're big and always in the news, we got singled out.[/b]  FCPS was following the guidance they were given by VDOE but someone decided that wasn't good enough.

where is this data? it is hard to do less than nothing.[/quote]

Yeah, okay...the teachers did nothing.  My kids were online every, single day with their teachers learning the curriculum.  My child who receives special education services was pulled into small groups online just like she would have been had she been in person.  She got her accommodations and she got instruction.  You people who keep saying the teachers did nothing are flat out lying.  I simply do not believe you.  I understand that some related services such as speech and OT got the shaft, particularly since it's hard to provide those services virtually.  But do not lie and say your kid literally got no instruction for a year.  [/quote]

It depends on the school and the family. There is no blanket statement that can be made across FCPS.

I have friends who are SPED Teachers. They were telling me stories of logging on, saying hi to the student they were meeting with, and the student simply turning off the screen or walking away from the screen. emailing or calling the parents and getting no response. I am sure that there are parents who will swear that their kid received no services when the Teachers were trying to provide services but there was no one there to get the child online or to stay in the session. And I am sure some of the arguments there will be the Parents were working and couldn't be sitting there making their kid do everything but that doesn't mean that some Teachers were trying to do their best with the crappy hand that they were dealt.

And I am sure that there are schools and/or that legitimately did nothing. [/quote]
