[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also wonder if there would be much cost savings closing the virtual academy. After all, there is no physical building, or anything associated with that. The technology is already baked in, in that all MCPS students have access to cheomebooks and zoom. It may actually be cheaper, in some ways.[/quote] The biggest cost center in public education is the teachers, which makes sense because education is about knowledge transfer. Virtual Academy "classes" are miniscule, which means you have a high cost center (teachers) servicing a very small number of kids. If you reintegrate those teachers into in-person classrooms, it benefits all of MCPS rather than a rarefied few. [/quote]
