Same.

But schools are not going to close for COVID in the future, so how does this factor into other education decisions? No snark, honest question from a parent who is still weighing the candidates.

There are constant battles on what's best for the teachers union vs. what's best for students. For example, R. White and Janeese George are advocating to eliminate standardized testing for students. Without this, we can't measure academic progress. The real reason they want to eliminate testing is so schools won't have the evidence for poor teacher performance so they can't remove ineffective teachers.

The union and their supporters have also opened the door to closures for any elevation in levels for any illness. You do know that Robert White and George introduced legislation to keep schools closed this current school year, right?

Can we stick to facts when people ask questions instead of opinions. They're not doing the bolded.

Did a protest vote for R. White. These options suck.

And Robert White plans to address crime by… a job guarantee?

Because advocating for their closure this January indicates that R White is a terrible policymaker who only cares about how he looks to the WTU and on progressive Twitter. You want that guy to be in charge of schools? He’s going to take DCPS back to the 90s.

You know, I would have thought that starting in maybe about November, 2021, that schools weren't going to close again for covid "in the future." That was AFTER there was great hubbaloo about even opening in Fall, 2021. THEN, Robert White tried to introduce a bill that would cause school closures repeatedly in 2022. At that point, I realized that all bets are off. If someone has the stupidity to propose that school closures can KEEP happening after all we've learned about their major detriments to children and working families (and not see that they do absolutely zilch to prevent community spread), then that's not a person that I want anywhere near power. That person has no ability to make decisions that serve his constituents.

Not to mention close them repeatedly after all kids have access to the vaccine, and 1.75 yrs of the pandemic gone with zero kids dying of covid in DC! Utter madness.

Will Bowser run for a 4th term if she wins?

Because there's no way he'll actually win but it's good for Bowser to feel some competition

I think he has a decent shot. He's Bowser in male form, but people are so fed up with Bowser that a new iteration needs to take over

Any exit poll data?
