Couple points since there is a school staff portion of the thread. We are going M-W with staff reporting Thurs and Fri. The state has not said that they would lower the minutes requirement yet, to essentially waive the lost time. Hence, it’s tough to make staff report all the off days. If you bring the staff in every day, and the state happens to make the time be made up, then your going over your contracted days and would have to pay an over load. It’s not likely the state makes all the time be made up, but without them officially announcing it, schools almost can’t risk that expense. You will get time off until the state announces a shorter year is officially allowed. Online learning only counts toward your minimum minutes requirement if all students are accommodated. That means all special ed IEP accommodations are met for every student. Rural or high poverty districts have no chance of meeting that. Some students don’t have internet access at home, and special ed accommodations are almost impossible to meet online. Your district can essentially offer enrichment online, but required and graded material online gets real far into grey area. Some private school populations would work. Very very few public districts can meet full online requirements for all students.
