@IssaquahSchools consider the words of @SecCardona . Our proposed proposed budget is a MUCH LOWER bar than March 2020. Please get creative so our students and staff don’t pay the consequences.
We shouldn’t go back to the schools of March 2020 – that’s a low bar. Right now, we have the chance to be bold – stronger mental health support, better training, and the opportunity to address inequities that existed long before COVID-19.

@SecCardona I totally agree! Which is why I’m disgusted that our school district is proposing significant cuts in mental health supports at our schools to make up for a budget shortfall! https://t.co/ztGC3KjVoC
"Why do we teach reading?"
My mom, the smartest woman I know, past reading & English teacher, reading specialist and principal, asked me that question this week.
@KellyGToGo Thank @KellyGToGo ! Modeling process and epic failures even help student agency. How do you and @pennykittle balance this approach with accommodations required for our SPED kiddos? I find graphic organizers are almost always present for kids with identified writing disabilities.
Unsolicited opinion from a black man: everything that's wrong with race in America is three white men starting a conversation "about race" and having it immediately degenerate into an argument about "law and order."
@realDonaldTrump@GOP Give me a break! If that was truly everyone’s motivation, when we were faced with this decision while President Obama was in office, those Republican senators would have done what you are saying right now. But they didn’t. I can’t wait till we get to vote you out!
"I wouldn’t trust the U.S. secretary of percussion to tell me how to play Smells Like Teen Spirit if they had never sat behind a drum set, so why should any teacher trust Sec of Education Betsy DeVos to tell them how to teach, without her ever having sat at the head of a class?"
