| If DCPS and the Union fail to come to an agreement the whole thing is off. Nobody is going back. Period. Could very likely happen. They are at an impasse. |

On which issues? Any insight? Actual sticking points? |

Has DCPS even talked to WTU? This whole reopening effort reeks of a Bowser power play. |

Supposedly they were talking today at 5. I know there was a WTU meeting with teachers before that to talk about collective action. It was apparently a hot mess, but a majority voted in favor of a sick out on Friday. Nothing official from WTU though. |

It was really late last night that I read it, so I slightly misremembered. But what I was recalling is that the CARES classrooms for PK-1 will start Nov 16 and 2-5 Nov 30th You can find that here: https://dcpsreopenstrong.com/schedule/term2/ “ This program begins the week of November 16 for students in PK3 to 1st grade, and the week of November 30 for students in grades 2-5. Students will attend school five days a week with a half-day on Wednesdays.” |

I mean, I hate to be blunt, but the issue is: The Chancellor is a fool who couldn't plan his way out of a paper bag. |

| The principals union has also sent out a letter of how terrible this plan is. DCPS is no longer speaking to principals about Term 2 due to an action that the CSO (admin union) filed. So literally DCPS is taking to zero fo their school based employees. No one knows what is happening. |

The link still has a date of Nov. 9th for in person start. But I believe you about the delay and frankly, as a parent of a child with special needs, feel devastated that it might fall through. We are barely hanging on and were so hopeful this would work out. |

DCPS just rescinded all the return to work staffing surveys they have sent out since schools closed. So that means there is no staffing plan.
Expect the union to make a statement today about collective action. |

| It will all probably convert to CARES. Must suck to be one of those that got an in person learning spot to know there is no plan for a teacher. |
