@BrimJulia @PPSConnect Thank you for your hard, unpaid, work over the past weeks.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@jrlsilverman Those two statements from the district seem incompatible.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@BrimJulia @PPSConnect Can you explain why “possible”? Thank you.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@jrlsilverman @PPSConnect @pdxteachers Welcome back! Fingers crossed today is the day.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@BrimJulia Is PAT’s email accurate that the remaining dispute is over one unpaid day of labor?

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@pdxteachers What other issues? This vague communication is not helpful.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@NedStanley @DocAdams1020 It was about whether parents can have a role in the committee to decide class sizes in individual classrooms, per the PPS press conference.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@kaufmac @jrlsilverman Seriously. The lack of PPS substantive comms for over a week now is maddening.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@jrlsilverman Do you have any details beyond the general PAT update last night?

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@BrimJulia @pdxteachers @PPSConnect Thanks for the updates. Wish PPS were keeping us better informed.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@jrlsilverman Yesterday’s PAT update wasn’t encouraging though….

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@chalkup It fluctuates so much too. Llewellyn is weirdly small this year, but 4 years ago my son has 35 in 4th grade and five years ago my daughter had 30 in Kindergarten. These things can change very quickly.

@GovTinaKotek That’s it? What are you doing? How are you helping to get money to PPS so that the teachers’ very basic demands can be met?

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@JonGarc1a Really? https://t.co/r5H4aGZ70o

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@jrlsilverman @GovTinaKotek @PPSConnect @pdxteachers I first read this that Kotek would be mediating….

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@OW_Photography Wow!

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@RManning47 @PPSConnect @NataliePateGwin Great article.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@Random_Walk_PDX @elliottyoungpdx With students leaving PPS, looks like estimated for next year are around 11k. Well below the National average.

[Cool Facts About Animals @coolanimalspod]

@Random_Walk_PDX @elliottyoungpdx That is not accurate. It’s about 9k on average. https://t.co/BY3PZZFxjh.
