[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have the worst school board and it wasn't great under Murphy who was way worse as a super. Please remember that APS lost a huge lawsuit on how ELS kids were educated here and he was hired to fix that, not global pandemic or even manage this $600M dollar "business".[/quote] I think what I am saying may be controversial, but I will say it any way. I think because the majority of ELS kids are choosing virtual is why there is no big push for 4 days week in person. [/quote] Yet I bet APS hasn't asked them why. No vax yet? Move more to the community centers. Managing child care 2 days a week too hard? Give them a 4 day option. No extended day? Open targeted extended day centers. Or roll them out in greatest need areas (and no, all of us in white collar jobs working from home paying a nanny, AP or other, do not have the highest need). Transportation not working? FIX IT! This is a 600M business and I bet these parents are keeping their kids home for a very practical reason and would likely want their kids in full time school ASAP (at least for ES; my kids are young).[/quote] How do we “move more to the community centers” we get what the state gives us How do we pay for and find more extended day staff? Where do we open these extended day centers? How do we FIX transportation if we have limited staff and busses?[/quote] How do we “move more to the community centers” we get what the state gives us Fed gov needs to move the vax from Miss which doesn't want them, to where they are desired. How do we pay for and find more extended day staff? We are using them for everything we can to keep them employed. This is not a problem. Where do we open these extended day centers? In the schools. How do we FIX transportation if we have limited staff and busses. That's been an s-show and not covid-related. When attracting staff is hard, salary is not high enough. If finding trained people is hard, pay them to get trained. Not covid-related: get rid of option schools and make all schools as walkable as possible. That's a way to fix transportation generally and again, this was a huge prob before covid. [/quote] How do we “move more to the community centers” we get what the state gives us Fed gov needs to move the vax from Miss which doesn't want them, to where they are desired.-[b]Not in APS control How do we pay for and find more extended day staff? We are using them for everything we can to keep them employed. This is not a problem.-That's not true now that students are back in. They are handling drop off, monitoring lunch/recess/specials/bathrooms. Where do we open these extended day centers? In the schools.- If we want them to work extended day again we'll need to pay for more hours How do we FIX transportation if we have limited staff and busses. That's been an s-show and not covid-related. When attracting staff is hard, salary is not high enough. If finding trained people is hard, pay them to get trained.- There is a nationwide school bus driver shortage, more money would help but where do we get it? Not covid-related: get rid of option schools and make all schools as walkable as possible. That's a way to fix transportation generally and again, this was a huge prob before covid.- Not an option for this year but I agree in general [/quote]
