How can we verify if this is true or not?
E-mail your county council members and ask them to ask MCPS.
County Council has no control over MCPS, except to approve their budget. MCPS is independent. Email your Board of Ed member.. but don't hold your breath. My experience has been their attitude is the know what's better for us than we do.

I think only ES kids are going back for F2F instruction because of childcare/ work issues. I also heard that spreading them out amongst MS and HS buildings in addition to ES schools and relocating secondary teachers is also on the table.
Middle-school and high-school kids need to go back to school, too.

+1. I'm ready to riot if kids are kept out of school. I mean it.
DCUM decided rioting is never acceptable —even if innocent black men are being killed by the police. But you will riot if your child has to do distance learning.
Don't worry, PP. First of all, I am not DCUM. Second of all, I won't destroy property; I will organize a sit-in. Because yeah, kids need to go to school. All kids, including middle-school and high-school kids.
Then you're a complete idiot. Sitting in a room with other people, for 15 mins or more is the number 1 way to spread Covid. Slow. Clap. For. You.
Not the PP you are responding too, but I believe the idiot here is you. PP is obviously referring to sitting outside to make a protest and get the attention of media I suppose.

I will riot too. But I sure hope schools will open. Kids are extremely low risk. Why would they be victimized? Adults can protect themselves, and mostly because of adult to adult risks, not because of kids.

I mean 6th graders are what? 11? They can't stay home alone all day doing their own distance ed. That's ridiculous.
