Oh please. The limiting factor in the schools was because teachers did not want to go back. Don’t give us that bullsh*t crap.

Teachers at home don’t set serve the vaccine now. Wait your damn turn like everyone else. Full Stop.

That is not true, at least not according to our principal. The limiting factor are the OSSE restrictions, limiting class size, requiring deep cleaning and distancing.

I don't believe that your principal had an interest in reopening in any real way. I have kids in 2 schools - one appears to have been able to accommodate nearly all of the demand for in person learning in some capacity. On the flip side, my other kid is at Deal - apparently there the principal told staff that they didn't have to come back unless they wanted to. So I believe your principal is telling you the story he/she wrote. They all got to write one for their school and teacher interest in working in person weighted differently in every single one. I hope DCPS is using this time to reflect on how this processed worked for letting each individual school decide how to reopen (highly unlikely) as they consider the next step and extending principal contracts. Poor Principal Trogisch should have rode this one out, he probably would have been just fine if he wasn't the squeaky wheel early on. Instead he became a sacrificial lamb.

Can you please share what school this is?

Typo deserve

Who the hell do you think you are that you think you're the arbiter of who does and doesn't "deserve" a vaccine? What a princess.

News flash. We already know who the arbiter of who does and doesn’t deserve it and that’s the city. Teachers sitting at home don’t deserve it over frontline workers, elderly, essential workers, those with co-mirbiditues.

So yea, sit at home with your entitlement thinking instead of serving the kids and you can wait a while for that vaccine.

Sadly, why? If you are planning to stay home, get vaccinated when your age/risk cohort is called. And lobby DC TO STOP GIVING 50% of DC VACCINE to out of state residents (as per recent NBC report).

I agree, wait your turn. We aren't giving people priority for the vaccine just for fun, but out of necessity. If you are working at home, then wait your turn. But if a teacher COMMITS to teaching in Term 4, then I think they should get the vaccine now.

I am fine with DC giving vaccines to essential workers who work in the district. Doing so staffs our hospitals, grocery stores, daycare centers, etc. And any teacher who is willing to work in person in DC but lives out of state? Yup, I think they should be prioritized as well.

Teachers working from home should have no more priority for the vaccine than any other white collar office workers who has been working from home since March. They wanted to be treated like regular office workers instead of essential workers. That’s what this means.

There are many teachers that are not willing to COMMIT so they can stay home. Being vaccinated should not determine if you should return to in person teaching.

If schooling is so important, vaccinate the teachers.

If you build it they will come.

What people here don’t understand is that virtual teachers have not been presented with an option to get vaccinated and proceed to IPL.

But yet y’all want to criticize and say virtual teachers are not deserving of the vaccine.

Make up your mind and make your demands heard to the powers that be. Bowser is just punishing teachers by not prioritizing them for vaccinations.

Whenever I try to get an appointment I’m told I’m not 65 or essential worker. This is the reality. We have NOT been prioritized.

As of 2/17, DC government said are you are. So if you can't the system is not working. Just because DCPS hasn't arranged a part 2 with Children's does not mean you can't get one. People here understand just fine.

From 2/18/21 Situational Update:

"Teachers and staff who are, or will be, working in person at a DCPS school or a DC public charter school"

Maybe if some virtual teachers had made an effort to come to school for Term 3, they’d be vaccinated. Let’s stop this nonsense already. Schools all over the place are open. Hell, schools in Washington are open because many teachers chose to lead.

School has been open all year.

School buildings have not.

If you want school to function similar to it has in the past vax the teachers and don't tell teachers shoulda woulda coulda to them.

See the Simulcast thread - parents now complaining kids in person are still on screens and having a crap time - yeah well dead teachers don't teach DL or IPL so this is what you get.

Demand CDC change their PPE and distance guidance to all the teachers screaming "science".
