[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting article posted a few hours ago about negotiations with the teacher's union:
https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/schools/mcps-teachers-union-nearing-impasse-in-contract-negotiations/

It also gives some hints about the fall, or at least when we'll know more:

[quote]
Once the next MCEA contract is finalized, union and MCPS officials will begin a new round of bargaining “on everything related to” fall classes, “because we [b]definitely will not be bringing 166,000 kids back to classes in August[/b] for the first day of school,” Lloyd said.

and

[quote]MCPS has not yet released a plan for fall teaching, but Turner said the school board is expected to receive a briefing in July.[/quote]

So as I read this:

1. The earliest we'll know about fall plans is in July. 
2. They haven't started working on fall plans, as it needs to be negotiated with the teacher's union first.

No kids in classroom until Jan. 2021 or later[/quote]

See what is the relevance of that time frame? This is the problem. It doesn't make any difference except continue to negatively effect kids. We have no idea what things will look like in a month.

Yeh didn’t the first report accidentally even have that date in it. Than they said ignore? I saw that date too a month ago[/quote][/quote]
