Until they feel 100 % confident they can ward of any possible lawsuit from teachers or staff.

I hope teachers have prepared a lawsuit. They should. APS is making it easier for them by ordering them back at the apex (for now) of the pandemic.

I think this is awful too but what's the legal basis for a lawsuit?

Talk about privilege. You’re going to sue your employer for requiring you to go to....drumroll please: WORK!?

You conveniently forget that school IS in session and teachers ARE working. You might not like the format, but the teachers ARE working.

There very well could be a lawsuit against APS, because teachers were told in the fall that they could telework if they had age considerations, sick/medically fragile family members, or if they were caregivers. Now, suddenly, all of those accomodations have been cut for 2021, even after some teachers were granted these accomodations already for the fall (this was in case school had gone back in the fall).

APS moved these goalposts with two weeks' notice without ever notifying most teachers of the change. This is not only unfair, but it is now putting teachers' health at risk. For example, there are teachers and staff that are over 65--they should not have to go into the building until they have vaccines.

Not only this, but many teachers applied for the accomodations in the fall and their requests were never even responded to. Some teachers applied two and three times, only to be told to apply again.
