Parents are pulling their children out of the public school system across the country, sending a message to districts that prolonging remote learning is costing them students.
In Washington, D.C., northern Virginia and Maryland, thousands of children are leaving public schools, the Washington Post reported. Potentially $42 million is at stake in Montgomery County and $35 million in Prince George’s County, since funding is tied to student enrollment.
In Wisconsin, a study showed that 34 districts that started the school year with virtual learning saw a 3% decrease in enrollment, while the state’s school enrollment declined 2.67%. Private school choice programs grew by more than 2,700 students as public schools saw declines of 36,000.
