[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where was the focus of the School Board when the schools were closed on COVID?  What were the issues discussed?

Social justice. Renaming schools. Religious holidays on the calendar.  Removing merit from TJ.

And, how did they kick off their opening last year?  With Kendi and his books.

Tone deaf.

This.  Youngkin can moderate some of this. My kid’s AP tests being cancelled for an O Day was the straw the broke the camels back. If a school is open and counting towards 990 hours, it should me so restricted National exams can’t be given. [/quote]

What does this mean?  When will they have the test - on another day?[/quote]

If they want to take it, the have to do so during the accommodations block. Which has a lot of downsides.  They get scores later— possibly too late to use for college advising. They have a third week of AP testing which is exhausting.  They take a different test than everyone else, so norming hard, especially if most kids are from a high performing system like FCPS.  If the actually need the accommodations block for accommodations, too bad for them.  A kid with both tests and extra time under a 504 would be unable to take both.  A kid with COViS is SOL. Etc.
