Warren Buffett wealth growth, 2014-2018: $24.3 BILLION

Maybe, just maybe, billionaires should start paying their fair share of taxes.

To ensure the health and safety of SPS students and staff, please keep your child home if they are experiencing any one of the symptoms of COVID-19 or a new illness unrelated to a pre-existing condition, such as seasonal allergies. #SPSSafeReturn

@SeaPubSchools Sharing is LITERALLY WHAT WE TEACH our preschoolers. You cannot make these statements, and then force developmental preschool, SPP/+, Head Start/+ back in buildings. BALL CALL.

@GovInslee empower and require the districts to provide the support necessary for schools to re-open SAFELY, and make them put those plans IN WRITING.

telling a low-income school "re-open, now." and then providing ZERO RESOURCES is literally sentencing poor people to infection and death.

[Becca Chin @timebeyondbecca]

@GovInslee Did you know that you also have pre-k students in WA state? Just an FYI.

[Becca Chin @timebeyondbecca]

Just got ANOTHER email from the district in which they forgot to include preschool students. These students are here! They matter, too! You needs to routinely include preschool students and families in your planning.

Seattle schools announce return for students without union agreement, sparking controversy and confusion https://t.co/fxjHkAJDCC

[Becca Chin @timebeyondbecca]

@SeaPubSchools Ummm, have you ever seen a preschool classroom? What about a special education preschool classroom? You NEED to collaborate with SEA.

[SeattleEdAssoc @SeattleEdAssoc]

We owe it to our students & families to reach an agreement that prioritizes everyone’s health & safety. We want to meet the needs of all our students, including both in-person & remote. No one is safe unless we all are. Let’s stay the course & get it done at the bargaining table.

@SeaPubSchools “SPS continues to negotiate in good faith...”

Really? Last we checked SPS has refused to negotiate with SEA since the Superintendent deemed SpEd educators as “essential workers” and forced a return to in-person date.

[Becca Chin @timebeyondbecca]

@SeaPubSchools You did not negotiate this.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Today, @POTUS directed states to add preK-12 educators, school staff & licensed childcare workers to our current vaccine prioritization. We are adding these workers to Washington’s Phase 1B-1 immediately.

[SeattleEdAssoc @SeattleEdAssoc]

Supt Reykdal asserted educators shouldn’t wait 4 vaccines b4 returning to in-person. Reykdal down-played our health & safety concerns when he said a return to in-person is “not without risk. Unfortunately, every year we have a loss of life of some students and staff to virus.”
