I'm at the point where APE says anything and I feel like I need to fact check it three different ways before I actually trust that it's true and not the product of some right-ish (for NOVA) wing spin machine. Beware.
Agreed!

It’s a shame they didn’t just stick with the section about the testing. They didn’t even *lead* with that.
Instead, they started with that Northam/VDOE nonsense.
Tell me you didn’t read the newsletter without telling me you didn’t read the newsletter.
Which section do you think they led with? Wasn’t testing…
Hint: Go re-read the OP.

I had no idea SB1303 expires after this school year - that’s concerning if this pandemic doesn’t wind down soon.

It’s really weird that APE comes to DCUM to share their newsletter.

Looks like APE is also campaigning in favor of the school bond, although they didn’t put it in the newsletter. Given how riled up some people are against it this year, I’m glad to see APE directing their efforts this way.

I really like their accounting of what the SB spent time on during the meeting - shows you their true priorities (hint, it’s not equity or learning loss).

Yes, very glad to hear they are pushing the SB to increase teacher compensation.

We do really need Test to Stay. My son had to miss school for a week because of a close contact. So impractical and of course he was negative for COVID afterwards.
Agreed. I’m glad APE is giving attention to this, because there’s no way APS would consider it otherwise.

Same here. We really need test to stay. We are missing at least a week, depending on how fast we can get test results
