[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleagues,

I apologize for the impact on our teaching staff of the SchoolTalk message about elementary summer school programming that was sent on Monday.  My intention was to call attention to the fact that we have been unable to effectively recruit enough staff to serve all the students identified as eligible for summer school. I wanted to alert families to this so that they can make other plans. While we have been proactive in our messaging to families all along by including disclaimers in all summer school messaging that final enrollment would depend on staffing, starting Monday's message with this disclaimer distracted from the intent of the message and caused hurt and surprise for teachers.  You are in no way at fault, and I regret that the message indicated that you were. You have enabled APS to be successful this year and that point should lead any message we send to the community.  I am deeply sorry for any pain that this message caused and remain profoundly grateful for your professionalism and commitment to the success of our students.

She needed to go yesterday. I can’t believe she’s still employed. 
LOL[/quote][/quote]She's consistently dismissive of both parent and teacher concerns.  Remember in the fall when she stood up at a SB meeting and told parents of kindergarteners that she understands the issue of supporting asynchronous learning while working because she used to help her college aged student with his homework?  She's also the one responsible for no new learning, and no instruction period for K-2, last spring.  She absolutely needs to go.  [/quote]

I think she's the one who told parents and the school board that concurrent learning was terrible for ES students then.... Pulled the trigger on ES concurrent learning.[/quote]
Yep.  That's her too. [/quote]

Loft is also the one who told the school board last spring that it would be 'unconscionable' to allow remote learning in the Spring b/c some kids might not be able to access it and it might increase the opportunity gap--- and then led us into a year of crap online learning....[/quote]
