Saturday school -- it's an option Baltimore County is giving its schools.|| Coronavirus updates | Maryland's latest numbers | Get tested | Vaccine Info ||While the idea isn't going over well with administrators, and what the district is doing to smooth things over, the district is considering Saturday school for students who may have fallen behind during the coronavirus pandemic.But it's how that extra help is being rolled out that concerns some Baltimore County principals.App users tap here to vote in poll: Would you send your kids to Saturday school?The proposal has apparently been on the drawing board since December, but it was only this past week that it started to take shape.It's an academic program that would bring students, needing extra help, back to campus on Saturdays or at other times during the year. Tom Dehart, executive director at Council of Administrative and Supervisory Employees, said it was the timing of the rollout that threw everyone off.“Principals and assistant principals and school leaders had five days of anxiety and angst trying to get this together when it was not necessary,” Dehart said.But school officials said that was never their intent.“The intent here is to not be restrictive and the idea of a Saturday is really to supplement,” Mary McComas, Baltimore County Schools chief academic officer said.In fact, the district believes the Saturday school model would help more than 10,000 students, that's roughly 60 students per school. Those same students would be given at least 21 hours of academic support.“We have been hiring people for Saturdays is one ask. Sometimes, it's easier to find people to stay later in the work day to provide after school support and in working with our principals, they've asked for greater flexibility,” McComas said.The union said the adjustments will help make the difference in how the program is received and how it will be carried out.“There's a lot more flexibility principals and assistants at school will be able to target programs really specific to their schools,” Dehart said.And that appears to be the goal for both sides.WBAL-TV 11 News was told that Saturday school program could start as early as April.
