The FEA president, speaking before the board, just confirmed she opposes returning to school next fall 5-days a week. She said FCPS should stay in hybrid until kids are vaccinated. We note most experts expect this to happen in 2022 or not at all.
One thing that astonishes us is how myopic this statement was. FCPS has lost 13,000 students from its rolls. Many more families are currently considering whether to go private next year (with applications due soon). A crucial consideration is whether next fall will be full time.
Regardless of whether the current budget forgives disenrollment losses from FCPS's funding, eventually these losses will cause serious harms to FCPS's funding. Ms. Adams' statement tonight has caused real harm; harm that will impact teachers salaries & job security.
If you are a teacher, parent, or community member who disagrees with the FEA's stance, we ask that you join us in advocating for the children who need in-person education.
You need not call yourself an openfcpser, but regardless please use your voice now to stand up for the kids
