This reads like satire. Um no. BHS is in the old Macy’s, pensions need funding, schools can’t staff classrooms, teachers are under resourced and demoralized, and VT kids are approaching yr 3 of pandemic learning. Surplus?!? This does not begin to cover the debt owed to #vted!

[JDeMink @jwdemink]

So excited to share the equity-oriented work going on at #bsdvt and eager to dive in again this year! #vted #@uvmcess @JDeMinkCarthew @QGonell @Lance_C_Smith https://t.co/SpcEtgZ20K

Idea to solve the sub shortage in the VT schools that have been forced to reopen during this pandemic. The remote working AoE staff (and the governor) can set up their offices in the schools and sub when needed. I offer my desk! #vted #remotework #firstdayofschool2020

@MsFabriSbardo Although we are still negotiating the unit titles and name of the theme, across town, we are in the process of building a Social Justice themed humanities curriculum that results in student action. If you like I will keep you in the loop. 1/2

Funky Family Friday #3: Stuck in the house with you (to the tune of Stealers Wheel) AKA Operation stay sane during quarantine due to #COVID19. We probably needed a bit more practice but we had fun...and sung about poo. Forgive us. 😂@jwdemink https://t.co/0JKF17du9b

Not-so-Friday Funky Family Music #2 in which we sing on a Sunday because who knows what day it is anymore anyhow?!? Sending love and aloha to all of you 🌈😍 @jwdemink #COVID19 https://t.co/WgVHugq9J4

[JDeMink @jwdemink]

One of these things is not like the other two :)

[Jessica @JDeMinkCarthew]

It's a weird Friday but we are trying to make the best of it with a Funky Family Friday. Music always lifts our spirits and we hope this helps to lift yours if you need it. Take care of each other this weekend!

To help keep connected with our students while remote teaching and learning we created a weekly TikTok challenge. This our exemplar:

When I first began teaching I often found myself crying-confused with the choices of my students.18 years later I again found myself in tears, this time because of the choices made by colleagues as my students launched their equity-based revised dress code. #vted #teachertears

[JDeMink @jwdemink]

Team infinity students are analyzing world maps to determine the impact of climate change on Historically Marginalize People. #ClimateJustice #equity #vted #bsdvt
