Once the counties realize they will have to give back the property taxes, they will come back.
That's some magical thinking. Online school comes with a cost that's not much less than in a classroom.
No, one teacher won't be teaching Algebra I to every student in the state. SPED requirements will still have to be met, if a kid's IEP mandates a one on one aide then that aide will be going to that kid's house. Federal ESSA mandates will still have to be met. And so on.
That's not even considering the cost of certifying all these teachers as online instructors (I am, or rather was, certified as an online teacher). Teaching online is a whole different skill set and methodology than teaching in a classroom.
Back to the original premise. Like others I think many teachers who are close to retirement age and were just kind of waiting will likely look at leaving more seriously. If this had happened a year later Mrs. NBP would be filling out her paperwork. As it is she needs next year to hit 20 years which is a pension marker. Oh, and like me for 32 years of paychecks, she has paid into that pension every two weeks her entire time.

Give her back what she paid and not a penny more. That's what's happening, at best, with Social Security. The SS Admin admits most people LOSE money on SS. They've paid more in SS taxes than they'll ever receive in SS benefits.
Teachers in my area average over $125,000 a year for 9 months of work. NYC teachers bank pretty well too. It would be nice to have a 20% reduction in my school tax.
On line schooling might be a superior educational tool for those focused on learning —for households trying to get away from the responsibilities of being a parent and those young people that have no interest in learning —Not so much —
No doubt the teachers union and Multi billion dollar bureaucracy of k12 will hype the concept of all being together

Not according to this. Why the **** can't you guys just use the real numbers instead of lying?
