It's especially funny because the company I work for directed us to take our annual ethics trainings a few weeks ago, and there was a lot of time spent on making sure we understood the upper limits of acceptable business spending on food, drink, and entertainment!
Mine did the something similar!

Schools get something in my area (the number differs per school in each area but it's still a number of some sort) like 19k per student who attends in funding.

Schools lose that funding if a student instead enrolls in say PA Cyber instead of doing virtual in district. Schools hate that. PA Cyber sends you an entire new computer and pays for your online the entire time enrolled out of this funding they now receive instead if you choose there.

Schools that are not functioning in class have reduced costs which schools should not probably just bank to offset past budgets but should release in part back to the community.

Every school provides lunches and breakfast programs to kids but they are unwieldy and in some cases coronavirus risks themselves. We have cycled between pick up lines in schools and then bus stop deliveries. Etc. None really work that great.

Providing money back to the students to get their own food and lunches is good. Or if needed for online. Or if it helps even just a little a parent who cannot work now because their child needs watched or someone has to watch them.

The school's service in which it is provided money by the state is not being met, so why should they keep all the money if not in school meeting it? Why can't they help the student? If you think your school doesn't have this amount, you are wrong. It's a small chunk of what is provided to them.
I have no idea if these details are similar to how it works in Wisconsin and my district in particular, but I haven't heard any issues with the food pickup at least (the town I live in is only about 11,500 people, so it might just be a smaller area. We have 1 elementary school, and one high school, plus the Flex academy for half virtual and half in person. The meals here are free, you just have to order ahead and pick them up contact free. Having internet could be an issue though. I believe most people do based on the amount of satellite dishes I see installed on houses around here (I figure if they have satellite TV, they probably have internet too), but that's obviously just a guess. Each district seems to have a different setup from what I'm seeing, so it's probably better in some, and worse in others. Either way, giant clusterfuck and it sucks that this is our reality right now.

As far as what the board does here, they give parents the choice to do full in person or full virtual (unless you're in the Flex academy), and you have to choose which one you're moving forward with every 9 weeks, and once you make that choice you can't change it until that 9 weeks is up. The virtual option for non-flex students is apparently pretty simple though. They're not connected all day, and it seems more like something that would only work for families with one parent home all day.

My spouse is a teacher. Most of the virtual school students are learning absolutely nothing, its a big problem.

I dont think thats the right solution, but I have no problems not offering virtual schools for the most part. Need more money to hire more teachers because there are huge problems, but virtual schools isnt the way to go
The school we're at is a Flex one, they've always done part virtual and part in person. I can't speak to everywhere obviously, but this place does really well with virtual options, but they're also used to doing it. I'd imagine it would be a lot harder for teachers who are used to in person instruction though. I think the choice of virtual vs. in person should be up to the parents though, not to the government.

Corrik7 posted...
Wrong. Schools are provided money for each student that attends. It is why a lot of schools were/are upset people were going to virtual schools instead of staying in district because they lose that funding. With students not in schools, the costs are lower. They can easily afford to provide a small chunk of the money given to the district for each student back to the parent. This money would go to providing the children with lunch's and internet costs if needed.

The school for my brother and sister already does this on their own. They get sent a check to cover lunch's which is actually higher than the amount here. It's like 2.6180. (actually not that far off).

Still love how you acted like you were a republican or centrist and you sit here and try to make Republicans into evil entities over and over. Heaven forbid Republicans want to ensure children eat and have internet access out of a small amount of what schools provide districts per child.
I don't know how any of that works around here, so I could very well be wrong, and maybe it's not as bad as I'm thinking it is.

I don't know what other districts do, but ours has a meal order form that gets mailed (postal or email), and they offer free breakfast and lunch to all children 18 and under in the community. So maybe that's a bigger issue in some places, but it's not part of the problem in my particular district.

As far as the centrist thing, prior to Trump's gross mishandling of covid I said that I would likely vote Trump over Bernie, and that caused a bunch of people to jump all over my ass. I do fall in the political center, but I'm having a very hard time going along with anything Republicans do, considering I disagree strongly with how Trump has handled pretty much everything in the last year. The parties silence on things speaks volumes to me, and instead of moving more to the right as I get older, I'm getting pushed back to the left like I was in college. Even if my political beliefs are in the center, I can't support what the Republican party has become under Trump and I will continue voting straight Democrat until I feel differently.

This part also tells me that they want to force students back to in person learning, not matter what. Schools don't have that kind of money. The reason we're doing virtual learning is because if my wife gets COVID, she's probably dead. Wisconsin Republicans are fighting to kill more people.

  • Require school boards to pay parents $371 to each student's parent if they provide virtual instruction.
