[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because this language just passed the House of Delegates (bill came from the senate) and is headed to the Governor's desk.

"1. § 1. As used in this act:

[b]"In-person instruction" means any form of instructional interaction between teachers and students that occurs in person and in real time.[/b]

"In-person instruction" does not include the act of proctoring remote online learning in a classroom.

§ 2. Each school board shall offer in-person instruction to each student enrolled in the local school division in a public elementary and secondary school for at least the minimum number of required instructional hours and to each student enrolled in the local school division in a public school-based early childhood care and education program for the entirety of the instructional time provided pursuant to such program. For the purposes of this act, each school board shall (i) adopt, implement, and, when appropriate, update specific parameters for the provision of in-person instruction and (ii) provide such in-person instruction in a manner in which it adheres, to the maximum extent practicable, to any currently applicable mitigation strategies for early childhood care and education programs and elementary and secondary schools to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 that have been provided by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

Online synchronous instruction still counts as in-person. [/quote]

Not according to the plain text of the bill. Or the plain meaning of words in English. [/quote]

LOL boy are you going to be mad when the Governor signs this and we finally get to open full time next school year.

Did you know he hasn’t even ruled out signing the emergency clause which would put it into effect immediately?? Now it’s not a sure thing or even 50-50, but the rumor mill is that he’s considering it. School closure people are on the wrong side of history and public opinion right now.[/quote]
