[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PG just announced that it is enrolling 12,000 kids in all-virtual. [/quote]

There are over 136,000 students in PG County public schools. And they granted every request for virtual (via a centralized academy). DCPS is only 50k kids total. Yes they are offering a more robust virtual program, but it’s not as stark a contrast as you might think. Also, as a smaller school district with fewer total resources, it’s harder for DCPS to scale this offering.

I will say PGPS has been much more proactive than DCPS throughout the pandemic— better leadership all around. But I also think you have to careful with an apples to apples comparison because they are pretty different in a number of ways.[/quote]

The virtual program is for K-6 (vaccine inaccessible), so it doesn’t cover the entire 136k school system. My kid is going in-person, but this is a significant late-stage development. I have to wonder if this will put pressure on DC to do the same. [/quote]
