Moving testimony from Mr. Nickel, who approached the podium with oxygen… “I may be terminally ill but I have every intention of surviving until you are all voted out and real leadership for this crippled school system is reinstated” @mocoboe@MCPS#VoteEducation
Video of the elementary school kids sitting in 24 degrees (that's Fahrenheit, below freezing) at @waynewoodes today. This is Virginia, where kids don't routinely wear down and wool. @Karen4Schools@FCPSSupt@fcpsnews
Was just informed by @MCPL_Libraries that there will be no in person, indoor story time or other indoor events for children until a child vaccine is approved. Why do you hate kids so much @MontgomeryCoMD@MontCoExec
Is it just me or are they doing what they told parents is too dangerous or high risk-eating lunch indoors? Someone needs to tell them to eat lunch like my child is today. Outside. In mid-November.
Good morning from Rockville for the first of today’s Montgomery County school board meetings.
The board is meeting with the MoCo delegation to talk priorities.
The meeting isn’t streamed & I’m the only press here, so if there’s anything you need to know, I’ve got you covered.
If you are traveling to the Azores I hope you have a wonderful trip, it is one of the most wonderful places I’ve ever been! Thank you for your video about this issue-I hope there is a quick remedy and resolution
We need #TestToStay yesterday. Reports of the same classroom now being placed into their 2nd 10-day quarantine. The entire class. Not ok. @EarlStoddard I know you said weeks not months but we have a problem here. This is educational deprivation for these kids. Risk-benefit help!
I had emailed @MontCoExec to ask why the @takoma is open 7 days a week but not @MCPL_Libraries and his reply mentioned test kits and masks. Respectfully, County Executive, many of us would like to access books and library programs. Please reopen our libraries 7 days/week
No children who are San Francisco residents are currently hospitalized due to COVID-19, according to the city’s department of public health. trib.al/kwZbHvr
From the coverage: Almost half the students in DCPS– 48% – were absent for 10% or more of the 2021-22 school year. Seven years of academic progress were erased in math: Only 19% of third through eighth graders met grade-level expectations in math
This is a difficult to read story. As teachers welcome children back into classrooms tomorrow in @MCPS may we all remember that school is a lifesaving place and had our schools been open, this child would have had trusted adults to report to
Tales from the Ground:
If you're a K-3 student in Weston, MA (on a day when the weather isn’t conducive to outdoor lunch), this is how you eat lunch indoors— at a solo desk w/ a numbered plastic barrier (1/)
