Marion County Schools release video to address etiquette for virtual learning
MARION COUNTY, Fla. โ Marion County school officials addressed virtual etiquette through an online video. On Monday, the district released a video directed at Marion County families and guardians about correct online behavior plus disruptions they have been combating this school year. Kevin Christian with Marion County Public Schools said it took roughly 10 days to put together a โNetiquetteโ video to serve as a model of appropriate online behavior. โThe code of conduct applies to any kind of school experience, it doesnโt matter if you are in the physical classroom, on the school bus, on the football field or in an online classroom,โ Christian said. Christian said the video was developed after teachers district-wide raised concerns about distractions they were competing with during virtual classroom instruction.
Central Florida school districts report low attendance on first day
Never do we have our full projected student enrollment on the first day of school... even on the fifth day of school. So they dont even know school has started, Marion County Schools spokesperson Kevin Christian said. We reached out to other Central Florida school districts about their attendance and heard back from Orange County Public Schools. If the district social worker can't contact the student or their family, that case will move forward to the Florida Department of Children and Families. The Marion County Schools district said with the different learning options, it may take some time to get a better idea of what attendance looks like.
