[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think July 27th is right.  That’s 5 weeks before the scheduled start date for the 20-21 school year.  Where is the mayor coming up with an extra two weeks of pay for teachers?  Either that or she expects to close early again next year. [/quote]
Not sure if July 29 is correct, but folks are being fools if they don’t think we’ll close again. [/quote]

Paul Kihn said this week that he anticipates schools will open but monitor students and staff health, maybe one school will have a positive COVID test and that school will go virtual for 2-3 weeks and then return. Waves like that.

I think July 29 is way too early for a start date. Many schools have barely finished hiring their teachers by then.[/quote]

How does that even work?  A school has an outbreak and then closed for a couple of weeks?  What about the schools nearby...what happens if principals aren’t honest?  They don’t want to make the news.  When I works EOTP we didn’t have heard of a week in the bitter cold but my school wouldn’t close because the principal didn’t want the attention. The kids has to wear fits, hats and gloves.  This was an elementary school.  When teachers called in sick the principal would grill you about how sick you were, say you could still come in and that you were failing your students and it would be reflected in your impact score.  Actions like this will only make the outbreaks next year worse. [/quote]

That should say heat for a week.    I could also point out the times when we didn’t have air conditioning for weeks and instead of calling attention to the school, the principal no longer allowed parents in the building at all so they wouldn’t be able to see how hot it was. Early pickups were don’t in the entry way between the two doors [/quote]
