WeDemandSafetyAPS put the safety of staff, students, & families first. APS staff, please complete our January reopening survey👇

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

🚨APS staff! Please complete our new reopening survey. 25% of staff completed our 1st survey, which had an undeniable impact on ⁦@apsupdate⁩. Your voices should be centered in any decision regarding reopening school buildings. Please share widely 🚨 https://t.co/IOksWZejbQ

Asking for a pressing favor this weekend…
Please drop your Senators a quick note to ask them to vote NO on SB233 on Monday.

Details given below come from the very amazing @StephenJOwens_ & @FundGAFuture

Have a great weekend, y’all & thank you in advance!
FYI @MikaylaArciaga

The time is now: Voucher vote on Monday. Here's what you can do - https://t.co/Tk2kcBKvIF

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

Encouraging an open & honest approach to mental health is already a good start… here’s info on an upcoming event with ⁦@jayewatson⁩ to keep those teens talking!

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

She is the real deal.

Joined my @BOEAPS colleagues and @NikemaWilliams to celebrate the opening of John Robert Lewis Service Center at @JLewisInvictus. It provides students and families with mental health support, food and clothing, and other resources. @JLIAPRIDE and team doing whatever it takes.

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

Ever wonder if people would still be pro-voucher if we called them ‘coupons’?!
🤔

[Fund Georgia's Future @FundGAFuture]

What an incredible event last night! There's so much you can do to urge lawmakers to reject vouchers so that we can invest in a strong, diverse and just public education system. See the notes from the meeting in the link below. #GaPol

Following this…

[Mara Davis @MaraDavis]

Anyone horrified about the anti trans stuff in Texas know that TOMORROW in Georgia #SB485 State Senate will likely ban transgender kids from playing sports. A useless, hateful, bill that has absolutely nothing to do with protecting kids. It is only promoting hate. #GaPol

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

Add this to a long list of egregious frustrations & concerns faced by the good people who step up to serve on our school boards….

@apsupdate @DrLisaHerring @BOEAPS heads up.

[follow @bencollins on bluesky @oneunderscore__]

Quick thread:

Antivaxxers, QAnon people and the anti-CRT crowd have coalesced around a new tactic to intimidate school boards into doing their bidding.

It’s called “paper terrorism.”

They took it from sovereign citizens, and they have a playbook for every state in the country.

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

@jasonesteves 1000%…. this nonsense should be squashed vigorously from & by all.

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

Let’s just leave this here….

The website will have a link for contact info so that you can reach out & let legislators know your opinion.

#ThisMatters

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

Eerie to revisit how this all unfolded….

[Andrew Brownstein @Misterodney]

Just a small note of thanks to @_mgallagher7, who makes so much at @The74 look great, but went above and beyond here. Thanks again! https://t.co/9h7JPKli5d

@amyklambert @GaUnmask @CommAPSProgress @jasonesteves @GEEARS @apsupdate @ViralSolGA Amy, we may not agree on everything, but I think we agree that many adults have acted poorly over the past 2 years & it seems that many kids will carry the undue weight of the consequences.

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

@GaUnmask @amyklambert @CommAPSProgress @jasonesteves @GEEARS @apsupdate @ViralSolGA No, nothing in life is free, let’s agree these shots & tests had “no upfront cost to the end-user”

We will all be paying for the all-in costs of COVID for decades.
Imagine how much we could have saved if we’d all worn masks, gotten vaxxed & not ended up getting COVID at all?
Huh

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

@amyklambert @GaUnmask @CommAPSProgress @jasonesteves @GEEARS @apsupdate @ViralSolGA That makes no sense.
@ViralSolGA has been a great & reliable partner to APS & the larger community, providing thousands of convenient tests, safe+effective vaccinations & top-up booster shots for everyone. Free.

White male fragility is real.

De-annexing Buckhead from ATL will GREATLY impact the lives+education of ~5500 Buckhead students & SEVERELY impact the entire 50k @apsupdate⁩ student body (& teachers, families, etc)

But their “leaders” won’t talk with us⁉️

@buckheadcity4me @joerogan @BWBuckheadCity @TuckerCarlson You got insults bc you’ve got nothing else.
Got it.

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

@buckheadcity4me @joerogan @BWBuckheadCity @TuckerCarlson Tell me you’ve never seen the movie (or didn’t understand it) w/o actually telling me you’ve never seen it.

There’s no mouse..& the Wizard is literally a lost carnival salesman of fake potions who is scamming entire Emerald City pretending to be someone he’s not.
Bill’s life!!😂

[WeDemandSafetyAPS @aps_we]

@buckheadcity4me @politicalinsidr @apsupdate Bless your heart.
“were” not ‘was’ (subjunctive clause)
“pennies” not ‘pennys’ (plural)
Throwing pennies in a fountain is not problem-solving, it’s a fun activity to entertain small children.
