Loudoun County Teachers Thanked With 'Challenge Coins' Instead of Cash After Pandemic – NBC4 Washington


These coins were given as a thank you to teachers for their hard work on the front lines during the pandemic. The superintendent, Dr. Scott A. Ziegler, also sent a heartfelt letter to his staff.
"Dr. Ziegler did not put those letters and those coins together to tick anybody off, I guarantee it,” Sandy Sullivan, the president of the Loudoun Education Association, said. She said teachers know the superintendent meant well, but the gesture is being received differently. 
“It's just the timing was off,” Sullivan said. 
Meanwhile, the school board has approved $1.6 million in bonuses to be split up among administrators and nurses who worked on vaccination efforts, school principals and other administrators, as well as nearly $12,000 each for 9 cabinet members.

School Board Plans Feb. 2 Vote on Reopening Classrooms


Loudoun Now
The School Board on Tuesday was briefed on the details of the latest proposal to return students to class on a part-time basis. With a formal vote scheduled for Feb. 2, it is expected that students will return to hybrid learning no later than Feb. 16. 
Interim SuperintendentScott A. Ziegler said his staff if ready to resume in-person learning for the students who have selected that option.
In-person learning was suspended just before the winter break in December because of increasing levels of community spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.
As caseloads begin to decline following the expected post-holiday spike and state and national leaders press for schools to reopen,Ziegler presentednew strategies to evaluate health risks measurements that will allow in-person classes to resume unless there are on-campus outbreaks. The strategy is based on new recommendations from the Virginia Department of Education that put the emphasis efforts by school staff to prevent transmission of the virus in schools rather than the rate of spread being experienced in the broader community.

LCPS works to complete hybrid rollout in shadow of rising COVID-19 cases


At the start of this month, all Loudoun County Public Schools students up through grade 5 were eligible to return to the classroom part-time within the school system’s staged hybrid learning implementation plan. Now, LCPS administration is finalizing its preparations to welcome middle- and high-school students back into facilities, though rising COVID-19 infection rates loom more ominously by the day.
Loudoun students between grades 6 and 12 are scheduled to begin hybrid learning Jan. 21, the first day of the spring semester, unless their parents prefer they continue entirely virtual learning. This step — the fourth and final stage of hybrid implementation — will come on the tail of intense preparation efforts by both school-level and senior administrators, rendered even trickier by the staggered nature of secondary school schedules.
