MCPS Expected to Offer Five-Day-a-Week In-Person Learning This Fall
Multiple times during Tuesday afternoon’s meeting of the Montgomery County Public Schools Board of Education (BOE), school administration staff repeated that there will be a five-day-a-week in-school program in the fall, with a virtual academy offered to those who request them. This will be accomplished using a social distancing guideline of three feet.
The BOE also discussed graduation plans, student waiting lists and summer school.
All high schools will have outdoor graduation ceremonies on their respective campuses. MCPS will provide the caps, gowns and yard signs for the 12,000 students expected to graduate at the end of this school year. It also will pay for rental of chairs, tents and other graduation day supplies. Each student will be permitted to invite two guests.
