 Montgomery County parents and students who have relied on the district's virtual academy are trying to save it after learning it had been shut down because of budget cuts. One parent told her partners at 7 News her son quickly realized, Mom, they're teaching to me and not my chair. He's still new to the job, but Superintendent Thomas Taylor apologized to parents for the lack of communication and input. I'm sorry that this happened. This is not the way that we should do business.
