[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP above--coincidence that APS called in a real expert to pacify APS parents who veered WAY out of their lane (and who basically said they were already doing just fine)?  No, it's how APS does things--using their resources to please the (mainly white, wealthy) parents who scream the loudest.  [/quote]

You mean those parents AREN’T air quality experts and were just playing with data without knowing what they were doing? Who saw that coming?[/quote]

Honestly that's such a crappy comment. Whether they are or are not experts, they have raised awareness about some safety issues. My kid goes to Wakefield and I had no idea that over 90 rooms there has bad air quality. I'm glad they're putting information out there. And who is seriously against anyone trying to get better air quality? I really don't understand that. APS clearly is not staying closed until the air gets fixed, so who loses by APS putting in more air filters? [/quote]

Actually, they muddy the water and totally confuse people about what is actually needed. Asking questions and advocating for rational safety measures is good. Misinterpreting and misunderstanding data and using that misinterpreted data to push for unnecessary changes, while publicly insulting the people whose job it is to get these things right, is a gross misstep. [/quote]

What unnecessary changes have they been pushing? Outdoor lunch? The right number of air cleaners for every classroom? Calling out APS for not providing data about every room they intend to use as classrooms? Honestly, what in that list is unnecessary? Has anything in that list done anything other than making your child's APS day more safe? Assuming, of course, that you aren't one of those APE members complaining about APS canceling school or saying there is adequate ventilation, when your kids aren't even in APS! [/quote]
