As other said apply and find out. Mcps is already under staffed so that will be a factor in how many spaces will have in a virtual program, especially knowing that for some families if they don't get virtual they might not necessarily enroll their kids in person they might just choose to homeschool or do some other independent virtual program.

Don't know if it's permanent but I'm guessing that they are going to take applications in order to determine staffing


It is permanent.

Why not? It’s a good option for those students who may benefit from a virtual option. I see it as a positive, and as long as there is demand, it may be good idea to continue it.

If you are interested just apply and let them tell you no.

That was the plan as of last year. Things can change, of course!


A lot of people prefer virtual compared to in person. Lot of good teachers and students are making a lot of progress as well.
Virtual will continue as long as there is demand.

Here's your chance!

https://news.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/staff-bulletin/virtual-academy-now-accepting-applications-for-the-2022-2023-school-year/

The Montgomery Virtual Academy, a full-time virtual learning program for students in Kindergarten to Grade 12, is now accepting applications for the 2022-2023 school year. Students interested in the program are required to apply for admission and must be approved to participate. (Students currently enrolled in the Virtual Academy do not need to reapply).

Admission considerations include:

For elementary school students: Primarily for students with extenuating circumstances related to health or other reasons that can be mitigated through a virtual learning program.
For middle and high school students: For students to gain access to innovative courses, flexible scheduling and specialty courses that may not be available in all schools, and for students with extenuating circumstances, including health and other reasons, that can be mitigated through a virtual program.
