Priddy was almost embarrassed when he said he would like to see kids in more days. PRIDDY HE WORKS FOR YOU--- YOU TOLD HIM TO BRING YOU A PLAN FOR MORE KIDS AND HE DIDN'T DO IT-- HOLD THE MAN ACCOUNTABLE.

Can we get someone, anyone on the SB with a backbone for crying out loud?!?!!? This is unacceptable. the man needs to be fired!!!!

No, he doesn't. He's actually trying to follow CDC guidelines.

UMM.. so APS is different than every other neighboring school district why/how??

Overcrowded, smaller schools.

Oh look ventilation lady showed up.

CDC guidelines are 3 feet. But it's too challenging for the clowns to figure out. So no, he's not following CDC guidelines.

CDC guidelines are still 6 feet for lunch. Still 6 feet for MS and HS when rates are high (ours are) and if there isn't cohorting (we aren't). Everyone will be full time in the fall bc of SB 1303. Let's all take a breath.

sorry but I will be shocked if kids are back full-time, with a live teacher in the fall.. this circus called APS isn't going to change before then.

I wish I was smart enough to initiate that.. I'll certainly sign it though. Couldn't agree more he needs to be fired. It's unbelievable what that man is getting away with. In any other profession he would be fired by now.

Seriously? You are going to try to get a superintendent who hasn’t even been in the seat for 9 months fired? He was hired during a pandemic and has appeared level headed and calm this whole time. There are a lot of school systems that are operating on similar hybrid schedules still. It’s not like APS is this random outlier here. No one is ever going to be 100% loved by everyone- I hated Murphy and think he would have been awful during this time. At least Duran communicates and is transparent. I’d love to get kids back more days a week but at this point I will settle for what we have- which is switching kids from virtual to hybrid and get kids in 5 days a week in August.

Supporting Duran doesn’t mean you are automatically radically opposed to schools being open

UMM.. so APS is different than every other neighboring school district why/how??

Are we though? FCC is able to get their 4 whole schools back more days. Loudoun is getting just the littles in 4 days right now. Fairfax says they are going to send kids back more but have already rolled that back because it’s not realistic with the time left in the year. Let me know if I missed something...

Exactly.

So many irrational parents who are misdirecting their anger and frustration.

He is a complete failure and should be fired. He has failed to provide any substantial plan and I have zero faith this will change for the fall. hybrid and concurrent is here to stay until covid disappears. anyone who doesn't see that either doesn't care or is paranoid.

Didn't FCC luck out and have a whole extra building they could use?

He has a plan - you just don't like it. And, guess what, his plan includes opening 5 days in the fall.

Go get some exercise or find a healthier way to manage your anger issues.

Trust me, APS could find more space if Duran and the SB opened their eyes and put some effort into being creative. The problem is they are lazy and not willing to try.

Please tell me what will change between now and the fall? I could use some hope here

I feel exactly the same way. I want my kids in 4+ days and I’m disappointed but also appreciate his transparency and the impossible position he’s in with constraints related to APS.

Cdc is going to update the guidelines again. With vaccines available to all adults there’s no other choice.
