Calling all @WCCUSD parents wondering why it's been so difficult to get kids back in schools, follow the $$$

Check out who CA's top political influencer is.

After what has happened in the past year, it's clear parents also need a seat at the table to ensure kids' needs are represented in Sacramento.

“This sounds outrageous and it is outrageous but the blame doesn’t belong on the teacher for the most part,” he said. “The blame belongs on the institutions that allow this to happen.” Looking at you: @WCCUSD @BuffyWicks @NancySkinnerCA @GavinNewsom 👀 https://t.co/J6Q8xwvNvA

[WCC Safe Open Schools @OpenWcc]

@ParentVoicesCA @NancySkinnerCA @Jess_Bartholow @ButteVoices @ParentVoices_SF @Parent_Voices @PVSolano @pv_sonoma As your constituents, we expect you to go on record supporting a FULL return to school this fall. Your silence has led to thousands of children being denied their constitutional right to a public education. That is what real "parent voices" want now: #5fulldays

[WCC Safe Open Schools @OpenWcc]

Not a good look for @WCCUSD. If only there were clearer direction and more consistent and equitable return-to-school policies. We have ONE more chance this fall #5fulldays @LeslieRthis @misterphillips1 @otheree @Jamelasmith10

[Jill Tucker @jilltucker]

An East Bay teacher chose not to teach in person. Parents are asking why she's now heading to Mexico https://t.co/0dK2o7EDsk via @sfchronicle

[Phil Ting @PhilTing]

We must let the distance learning waiver expire 6/30 because districts continue to act irresponsibly with the flexibility given by the state. (2/2) https://t.co/NAdmKC6oev
