[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a big problem is that teachers don't trust DCPS admin and that makes us reluctant to return to work when we feel like they probably won't take adequate steps to protect us. I would love to teach in person and see my students again but I don't have much faith that DCPS will do much to keep me safe. Most teachers I know feel the same. Nobody thinks that central office is going to help us because they never have up to now. IMPACT has seriously eroded trust in admin. There is a gotcha culture towards teachers. So now we don't feel safe. But we love our students and want to come back. It's not unreasonable to feel scared about it and nervous.  [/quote]

To close out for this school year the teachers at my school were promised that there would be temperature checks at the door. There was no one at my school taking temps. My classroom had not been cleaned that entire distant learning time.[/quote]

When individual schools were closed for a deep cleaning in March, nothing was cleaned.  Then central office staff came and lied to teachers saying cleaning crews came through.  Nothing was moved on desks, kids' desks still dirty, etc.  They really don't care.[/quote]

Wow, this is awful. Thank you for sharing so now I understand what teachers are so concerned about. DCPS needs to take this much more seriously. What will it take? Asking seriously. In these areas charters have it better I feel, or can, if they are able to have more trust and care more about the individuals in the buildings. But, no one has extra funds for building upgrades - that has to come from somewhere. We can’t expect to have schools open on the same budgets as pre covid. [/quote]
