Yes, only white parents are angry/impacted by this

Do the Imams know that science can tell us where the moon is at any time in history?

What part do you think is crazy?

Not the part where a guy not seeing the moon b /c it’s cloudy closing down an entire school district, graduations, competitions, etc?

I think all sky Gods are crazy. I also think all of you are overreacting. Nothing has even happened yet.

Many parents emailed the school board today, and received replies basically saying "too bad, this is our policy". The vote is inevitable.

It got pulled off the consent agenda, so someone will vote against it. Probably Turner. Kadera might join. But that will be it.

Don’t underestimate the power of angry white parents. We will see, but I’m confident in you. You can kick me later.

TJ mom was a good speaker saying hundreds band/music/choir Students affected if the Hershey Park music festival cancelled b/c of June 6th and its the LAST possible date for the festival. Students have been working all year and everything is already paid for and asked if they can they still go voluntarily.

Oh no!!!! This is true! They have anticipated this end-of-year music competition with other middle schools from all over the state for the entire year, and have worked so hard to raise a ton of money for this trip, so that they and every kid in the department can go!

Countless hours have gone into the prep by the music teachers, and parents, too, have taken off work, etc.! They would all be heartbroken, and hundreds of students, it’s usually 6-7 charter buses, all paid for! I just can’t believe this is happening.

Then you need to start reading your weekly emails from the Superintendent. It literally goes to EVERY parent weekly via ParentVIEW. He told you yesterday.

It really needed to be a separate email considering the short notice

A separate email with a subject line that says something "New school closure date proposed for 6/6" or something like that

Add exclamation points

Or that can make up with no penalty.
