The state would love the excuse to crack down on FCPS if that happened because it's flatly illegal. [/quote]

And?  Do you think FCPS is the only school district that is missing lots of teachers?  Do you think FCPS is the only school district that will have 45 students per classroom this fall?  Just because FCPS got kicked off the VA Schools Forum doesn't mean that other school districts no longer exist.  [/quote]

I think it would be the door for vouchers and charters getting thrown open.  There is no provision in state law for large classrooms if it's too hard to hire. [/quote]

Vouchers and charters won't conjure up new teachers from thin air.  The solution is a waiver.  There are waivers for all sorts of things.  This isn't a radical idea.  [/quote]

Hopefully the waiver request isnt granted. I doubt the state board signs off on classes that big [/quote]

So ... what do you hope will happen this fall?  In FCPS and other school districts with shortages?  I've seen that MCPS is forcing teacher transfers to understaffed schools.  But when there aren't enough teachers in the entire district, that won't fix the problem.[/quote]

The state board of education that wants an excuse to force vouchers and charters on districts who don't want them gets its excuse. [/quote]
