[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duran needs to do the work to see if it's feasible to bring back any of
K-2 4 days a week.  Ask each principal how many classes could or couldn't be brought back without massive restructuring.  Present the data showing what is or isn't possible.  Stop with the damn hand waiving.  Prove to parents that you've actually looked into it.[/quote] Did you watch the board meeting? Priddy and Kanninen literally asked that question almost verbatim[/quote]

The board questions definitely feel staged/planted at this point. They come off as recited/rehearsed and inauthentic. It would also explain why they are all generally on the same page and not meaningfully questioning anything that is going on. [/quote]
Duran hasn't show that he's meaningfully looked into what is possible for K-2.  He says it's too hard to bring back all students for 4 days so he's not going to even try.[/quote]

Agree. The subtext is that disadvantaged kids are disproportionately staying virtual so there’s no incentive to try to provide more than 2 days in person for hybrid right now. [/quote]

Ok. So then why aren't more people pushing back on all of this? There is APE and they are doing what they are doing, but, it sounds like some percentage of people on here are not part of or in favor of APE, but, still want more days. Where are you all? How can we further elevate/heighten this issue and force action? This is not at all impossible. Duran is just unwilling. If someone lights a fire under him, he will make it happen. [/quote]

Couldn't agree more. Duran is the problem here - he's the roadblock and is clearly incredibly stubborn and one-sided.[/quote]
