Dumb ass move by the mayor and chancellor. Thanks for creating this huge mess.

Alternatively, blame the unions.

I'm happy to blame everyone, but this particular dumb plan was drummed up by DCPS so at the moment my ire rests with them. They could easily have come up with other solutions to put on the table.

You would complain about all the other solutions too.

PP here and I am a new poster. No plan would be perfect, but this one is majorly flawed mostly because DCPS didn't take the time to figure out what the staffing situation was they were working with.

They should have rolled out a pilot program in a few schools-- even a hybrid one-- and then adjusted from there, all while really getting good data about staffing and hiring.

they couldn’t figure it out because WTU literally got the courts to block them from using the staffing survey.

Even if they had used it, it was so flawed it would never have gotten them the info they were looking for.

Can you explain? What survey? The one to staff from June? email sent to whom? School staffs? Teachers? All DCPS employees? All DCPS families? Please provide some details.

The staffing surveys that PERB found in violation. They sent out an email saying they both (June and September) rescinded. Then 20 minutes later they sent out another email that said they were recalling the email that rescinded the surveys.

They absolutely did not recall the rescinded survey emails. DCPS rescinded the staffing surveys because they were found in violation of the contract. It was likely because DCPS/WTU either negotiated it or DCPS went ahead on its own. There is no staffing plan (that includes WTU teachers) in place. They are either starting over or going to plan B. They are now reaching out to subs with a Friday due date for availability for in person learning.

I am looking at my email and it says RECALL: Sept 29, 2020 Staffing Assignment Framework and Survey. The message says. (Name) would like to recall the message: RESCINDED Sept 29, 2020 Staffing Assignment Framework and Survey.


You can pretend you don’t see it in your email but it’s there

This is a great letter.

I agree. Great letter.

"Principals and teachers know their students and know who is the most in need. They have had no voice, no input and no time to recommend which students are more vulnerable and more in need."

The letter also answers my questions about planning for those not in CARES or in person

"Principals and teachers know their students and know who is the most in need. They have had no voice, no input, and no time to recommend which students are more vulnerable and
more in need. They were given 10 hours to confirm the list provided to them after the lottery, and the appeal process which was outlined did not occur. Additionally, results were released
to families prior to school input.

Staff survey results, which are still inconclusive due to the PERB ruling, were not used as a tool to plan for capacity. There was no coordination of capacity versus offering of seats."

NOTE wtu’s role here in interfering with planning.

Well DCPS is no longer speaking to their principals about term 2. This is due to an action that was taken by the CSO (union). DCPS central office is literally on their own now.

Minor annoyance/pet peeve - letters, especially letters like this, should ALWAYS be dated! When was this sent?

This morning, I believe.
