@Martys_Pants @CommAPSProgress @apsupdate @DrLisaHerring Because we are not done until there is a public announcement about a contract extension for @DrLisaHerring - https://t.co/kn0QTM09gH

[Committee for APS Progress @CommAPSProgress]

Also, only a weak “leader” and human turns off comments from the public they’re supposed to be working “in service of”.

[Committee for APS Progress @CommAPSProgress]

This may be the biggest piece of garbage ever written.

Absolutely zero accountability for the harm done to @apsupdate students. For the wrong decisions made. For the years of education lost. For the thousands of kids who never came back to school.

As a natonal thought leader, thanks #EdWeek for the chance to reflect on Covid-era leadership realities for Superintendents and educational leaders, our public schools, communities and the work we must focus on for our children: https://t.co/2Cf65jgmwC

[Committee for APS Progress @CommAPSProgress]

In Atlanta, @apsupdate @DrLisaHerring did and @jasonesteves @BOEAPS let them do it.

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

This past week:
@rweingarten said she fought to open schools the whole time

Fauci said he had nothing to do with it and maybe schools were closed too long but not his daughter’s so maybe they weren’t really closed for so long!

And the White House said Biden made open schools his priority.

So why did they stay closed for a year and a half? Who did it? The kids? The parents? Someone did it. Who could it be? Someone caused this generational catastrophe. 🤔

2/2 @BOEAPS can either...

1. Publicly vote on contract extension for @DrLisaHerring

OR

2. Decide no public vote. Allow @DrLisaHerring  contract to expire June 2024 & announce search for a new super

🧵1/2 In Fall 2022 Prior to @jasonesteves leaving the @apsupdate @BOEAPS he reminded stakeholders @DrLisaHerring potential contract extension would be up for discussion in May/June 2023.

So what's next?...it's now May/June

6 months left for @BOEAPS Chair @collinsforkids & Vice Chair Aretta Baldon

How have they led @apsupdate BOE since appointed in Jan 2022?

Are they holding @DrLisaHerring accountable?

@boeaps Chair & Vice Chair will be up for grabs in Jan 2024

[Committee for APS Progress @CommAPSProgress]

@DrLisaHerring @apsupdate kept schools closed for a year. Destroying lives, costing students years of their education, losing some of them forever. Now she wants her contract extended.

DO NOT EXTEND HER CONTRACT. @BOEAPS

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

Can she possibly think we’ll believe this?

We were here. We were trying to get schools open. We were called lazy shitty parents, racists and teacher murderers.

Stop it.

"The SUPERINTENDENT’s base annual salary in each succeeding school year, beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, shall increase by the same % as in the salary schedule adopted by the @BOEAPS  for the position of teacher."

@andreforatlanta

[Oversight Committee @GOPoversight]

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten used her power and influence to collude with the Biden Administration to keep schools closed.

Our nation’s children suffered as a result.

Time for accountability.

🚨BREAKING🚨

@AFTunion may have exploited the well-being of America's children for political gain.

@COVIDSelect invites @RWeingarten to testify on April 26 at 2pm about her role in promoting unscientific school closures.
