We are going to fight for educators and students. That means hiring more counselors and school nurses. That means paying educators what they're worth. That means protecting the right to organize.
We need to follow governor's orders to be safe.

I guess this is how other districts are doing it, great communication to all stakeholders.

Wow! “Disappointed at school responses to COVID-19”! Reflect on this: The U.S. Secretary of Education has never taught 1 day in a classroom, has NEVER led 1 school or district, but is the chief of ALL school districts in our country. How would she know what she doesn’t know?

American public in April: Teachers are saints. Look how amazing they’ve been during the pandemic. Yay, teachers! We love you! America public in July: Teachers are awful and selfish if they aren’t willing to risk their lives to teach in-person. Do it for the children.
If your online learning model is adding trauma to teachers, parents, and students in an already traumatic environment, then you don't have an online learning model.

Today’s is just the first death of what will become many. We need businesses to follow our guidance if we want to save lives.   We need to stay home if we want to save lives.   We need to work together if we want to save lives. #COVID19

🎵 Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you 🎵 Washing your hands for at least 20 seconds—the amount of time it takes you to hum or sing the Happy Birthday song twice—can help you avoid illness + reduce the spread of germs! 🧼 + 🚰 + 👐 = 😁

As we have not had a snow day to date, February 14 will be part of the extended Presidents Holiday weekend for all students and staff. Any future snow-make up days will be added to the end of the school year beginning with June 9. #YourSalisbury

I see a difference in how teachers are talking less and students are talking more, sometimes dependent on what level.#SVPLchat
