Blackboard continues to have login, loading course module issue. Its clearly a resource, load issue with on prim - cloud component. Is FCPS working on recording the classes as a backup and any means for parents to report to FCPS. Its a Stress on the system thats understandable but Students missing education and spending morning playing Russian roulette with Login issue and Looking at spinning wheel of Frame failing to load is painful for students.

Dr. Brabrand, thank you for taking full responsibility. How do you assess negligence and removal of leaders who acted with negligence in this situation with Blackboard? I'm specifically addressing bullying incidents on Tuesday, April 14th at the Elementary School Level. Thank you.

You want us to make connections, but what are you providing for us to make those calls, cards, emails. We are not provided with phones to use, or numbers, we are using our own tech at home and paying for all of this out of our pockets. We were sent home without the tools to provide what we need to connect with our students. I have made calls, emails, text messages, mailed cards and more to reach my students, since school closure. My students do not have the technology in the lower grades k-2.
