.@BaltCitySchools recognized that many students take public transportation to get to school. BCPSS cannot control social distancing/CDC protocol on public transport. How can students be asked to return when they can’t get to school safely? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
“We recognize that it may be difficult/even impossible for people to wash hands with hot water and soap regularly within City Schools buildings” -Health and Safety Training today... and yet all school buildings are opening??@BaltCitySchools#MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
Three separate cases of Covid transmission in Carroll County schools.
I badly want to see all of our students back learning in classrooms. But I value their health and the health of their families and our educators too much to believe that now is the right time.
When the same happens at @BaltCitySchools, who’ll be on the receiving end of transmission?Students, teachers, maintenance, admin staff? Who is disposable? If they don’t die, whose long-term health are we willing to risk?
This is a shocking statement. With the state's vaccine rollout a complete mess, @GovLarryHogan is threatening teachers - including those with pre-existing conditions - if they have concerns about teaching in person.
This isn't leadership. It's bullying. Shame on Larry Hogan.

@MsZim_says@WriterCPA@FrancaMullerPaz Yes, this is what I meant! Adjust the grading policy, not grades themselves. Assessments should never be 70% of a student's grade, especially not in the virtual setting. Thank you for helping clarify!
Why not focus on improving distance learning and adjusting grading to be more equitable while keeping students, families, and school staff safe and healthy at the same time? Baltimore City is currently at 39.7 COVID cases per 100K #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe

Distance learning CAN work.
Let’s work to improve the system we have while keeping our families safe, rather than force unvaccinated people into improperly ventilated, unclean buildings before our public health data improves!#MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe@BaltCitySchools
On today’s @BaltCitySchools town hall, teachers were told to “stay positive” because “we’re a family.” Would BCPSS leaders force their family members into improperly ventilated buildings before receiving both doses of the covid vaccine? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
It’s encouraging that @BaltCitySchools is working to get teachers vaccinated. But what about students, parents, and family members? When can they be vaccinated? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
Over 80 confirmed COVID cases, just of BTU members who’ve been in buildings w/ only 2% of students back, what do we think will happen when we multiply the amount of students and staff back x20? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe@BaltCitySchools
