Jeffco school board chooses a woman (!) who has been a teacher (!) and whose kids attend Jeffco schools. Her degrees are from Colorado Universities. 💛🖤 https://t.co/EmegJ6KXM6

England had to close their schools after making that a priority by closing bars. This strain is powerful. “Is going to the grocery store safe? New Covid-19 variants could mean less shopping and more N95 masks.” - Vox https://t.co/NxOCVcXS8M

I say this with NO JUDGEMENT--watching the adults participating in this meeting take their masks on & off to talk or drink water, & lean in to talk to each other closely, is indicative of what school will look like. (Seem to be either distant OR mask at all times, but not both).

Trump is canceling part of his convention because of the threat posed by the virus while also pushing schools to reopen at the same time.

If a hospital worker can wear a mask nonstop during a 10-hour shift.

If women can wear masks during labor.

You can wear a mask while running an errand.

These 3 strategies can restore a sense of normalcy and team culture during distance learning.

If school openings are for the economy to open back up, then corporations should help fund needs and resources for schools. I’m tired of teachers having to beg and fund raise to do their job. Especially now!

The White House is actively trying to discredit its own medical professionals and health experts.

This is not normal. And it does nothing to help a suffering nation.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Mr. President, “Open everything now,” isn’t a strategy for success. It’s barely a slogan.

It’s long past time for you to step up and do your job.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

President Trump and Secretary DeVos:

We all want our schools to re-open.

Stop threatening to take away their funding, and get to work helping them!

If we want them to open safely for our teachers and students, our schools and child care providers need MORE federal funding.

We shouldn't have to beg this president to listen to the experts.

[Jason Kamras @JasonKamras]

It’s unconscionable that White House & Dpt of Ed have politicized school reopening. I’ve heard from 100s of families/teachers over last few days, who have widely varying viewpoints - all of which are legitimate. What we need right now is empathy & grace, not heartless directives.
