@wrdsb What are you doing to make this a #SafeSeptember for once? Have you released the HEPAS? You claim no $ for the filters,yet how much did you spend on supply teachers last year? Why won't you release the Attendance records, for staff and students? Your schools are NOT SAFE!!

In JAMA this week, authors admitted they likely underestimated #LongCovid risk in kids by ~3x. An NIH study highlighted 18 prolonged #LongCovid symptoms in school-aged kids. And yet @fordnation still has no #SafeSeptember plan No tests, #CleanAir, or smaller class sizes. #onted

@ScottPiatkowski What are you and the other Trustees & Board members doing to make this year a #SafeSeptember , Scott? Why the 🦗 ? Why are communications not going out already re staying home when sick, masks, etc? What's the air quality in your office, and at Board meetings? RELEASE THE HEPAS.

We need our leaders to acknowledge the problem and use the tools we have to limit the damage. We need a #SafeSeptember.

TODAY: Covid is spreading more now than in any previous back-to-school season. Families are being thrown to the wolves by #LaissezFairePublicHealth. We need surveillance testing, science-driven isolation policies, guidance for universal high-quality well-fitting masks, air purifiers to reach ASHRAE Standard 241, & updated vaccines yesterday. In absence of those policy-based precautions, families must fend for themselves. The only options/tips are non-universal masking (less effective for kids than adults), getting a vaccine next month, and reducing in-home spread. Dr. Malley is spot on. Reduces family risk, but still very bleak long-term, considering 2 waves annually. This is why my family homeschools, aside from a recent summer camp with universal high-quality masking and ASHRAE Standard air cleaning.

Novavax was shown to have a better neutralizing response against the currently dominant KP.3.1.1 variant than it did against KP.2, KP.2 sublineages, and KP.3. FDA, we need this YESTERDAY.

Again 🦗 as expected. What exactly are the Trustees & Board doing to make this a #SafeSeptember ? RELEASE THE HEPAS #WRDSB @WRDSBdirector @wrdsb @Carla_Johnson @weston_jd @MaedithRadlein @meenaforschools @TrusteeMeissner @smoestoe @_MikeRamsay @cindyw_watson @BillCody_CA #onted

@ScottPiatkowski @JodiKoberinski @wrdsb So what exactly are you doing to protect the kids & educators? Why still 🦗from you all when asked about the HEPAS you've locked in storage, Scott? How much did the board spend on supply teachers, just last year, but no money for filters? What's the air quality in your office?

@raghu_venugopal Oh yes I remember her well. She really wasn't happy about Ontarians pushing Ford for a #SafeSeptember, likely because it would cost money to actually protect children and education workers, and why would we invest in kids when we have a MegaSpa parking garage to build?

@DickZoutman @CdrHBiscuitIII Thoughts on making this fall a #SafeSeptember ? My two disabled still homeschooling, wondering if they'll ever be able to return to in person in ON 🤦‍♀️. I'm afraid with zero protections & them the lone maskers & needing spec ed, it will never happen at this rate..

Why does #WRDSB have them in storage? Not enough $ for filters, but enough for supply teachers? They won't release the attendance records either.. what's the plan @wrdsb @WRDSBdirector @ToddSmithPC will we finally have a #SafeSeptember where my disabled kids can RETURN FINALLY?

According to @sflecce he used our money to buy 70,000 HEPAs for Ontario schools so we should be able to put this scenario into action for #SafeSeptember. Will @ToddSmithPC succeed where his predecessor failed? Will @fordnation prioritize the health and well-being of kids? #onted

Our kids, our families, our educators deserve so much better than this. Cleaning the air in schools would be a gamechanger for communities. It doesn't have to be this way. We have the tools. Please, @ToddSmithPC — provide a #SafeSeptember for Ontario's schools.

@nco_mom @TdotMum This year had the most absences in my classroom(s) ever. A few missed 3 mo+ (60-75 days) worth of school. Never in my career have I seen absences this massive. I had to keep constant lists of who missed what. There were so many at so many different times, we could not ‘catch up’

They promised us a #SafeSeptember without doing much of anything to deliver it. If you look back, @sflecce made all kinds of posts about how clean air was the answer for safe schools as students headed back into classrooms. But they never showed their work.

Here's the thing about school closures everyone forgets. Scientists fully expected decisionmakers to use the 1st lockdown to put in place MEASURES ato allow safe and permanent school opening. We were aghast when they failed to do so. Blame appropriately. https://t.co/8LneDntJcg
