Yes, all students. Brabrand wants all students to choose hybrid.

Schools will honor all requests to switch if there's room.


PP here. We chose virtual for one of our kids (7th). The principal made it sound like there was absolutely no room to accommodate more students than who’d originally chosen hybrid in the summer, so we let our original summer decision to stay home stand. His wording in this new email was interesting.


I think his phrase “all students will have the opportunity” was simply sloppy writing. They are not allowing any family that wants to switch switch


PP just didn't read closely -- all students will have the opportunity to stay virtual, not to switch from virtual to hybrid.


That's not what Brabrand said at all.

Have fun making up words to put in his mouth.

BS. You were resurveyed in the fall and could have switched. This is on you.


They changed the whole plan after that survey. If FCPS can change the plan willy-nilly, families should be allowed to update their choices based on the new plan.


They didn't change the plan, they merely changed the dates. The plan is exactly the same.

You should be able to find the FCPS Board Docs from yesterday online.

No, I'm not a teacher but we're slated for hybrid. I'm thinking why bother if the teachers won't be back. I have HSers and need to check if their schedules will be impacted.
