[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone speak to how teacher contracts factor into this?  All I know is that teachers who are returning sign contracts in the spring for the following year - this lets schools figure out how many slots they have to fill for the following year.  Is it possible for DCPS to make in-person teaching a requirement in the 2021-22 contracts?  At least this way schools would know in the spring if they have a staffing problem for opening in the fall.

I fear that DCPS is going to leave this issue to the summer and then start negotiating a new MOU with the WTU.  At that point the WTU holds significant leverage because they can refuse to show up when school opens and the prime window for hiring teachers has closed.  Wouldn't it be better to know that  earlier?[/quote]

[b]This is why it is pivotal to start agitating for next Fall now.  Because in the summer essentially nothing will happen.  So we've got 3.5 months to make a plan for Fall.[/b][/quote]

100%. [/quote]

Agree. The talks about coming back to school need to focus on 100% in person full-time in fall. That will only happen if all students are back in hybrid ASAP.[/quote]

This question of timing is a big deal, I think. It's like once summer rolls around, the entire school system is just out to lunch until Labor Day and no one wants to think or plan or do anything at all. [/quote]
