Mr. Martinez with the sense talking

Ms. Jensen is also terrible, fuuuuuck

Ms. Rice doesn't know what a minute is

Benjamin wants to play sports ball!

He wore a tie that was cute

Beckham is a 6th grader and cute, he hates online learning which is 100% true

Lynn is a messy mess with her terrible delivery and her signs? Somehow APS is responsible for child abuse

Deb just wished happy birthday to all the capricorns

This dude whose name I didn't catch called out the people fighting for two days of baby sitting and APS leadership for being bullshit.

I like that guy

Ms. pavolko bringing citations and thoughts about why hybrid is bullshit. reform online learning

Micah honors the boards work and suggests this a moment of opportunity to set the tone of the future. lots of choices and dignity words being thrown around

Ms. Freedman is super bad about the new bus depot, which i complete understand.

Ms. Sarah's doorbell keeps going off, she's popular. She has excellent points and they are very well laid out. she stayed within her time frame i can only assume she is an english teacher

Carly is upset teachers are not fighting for students. She is upset teacher are terrible and they are ignoring children. she is over time and mad about it. Why are teacher and the board here?

Florence pointing out all the reasons to be in distance learning. She straight up called out Peggy for her bullshit anti mask stance. if the board cannot fall in line how will students. if students are back in person then the board needs to be as well.

Fuck La Cueva and it's entitled population

This student is doing his best to get his thoughts out but he's so nervous. His grammar is terrible. He would like to return to school full time. He misses his school family

Amber is singing, "the more we get together" please fucking kill me

Oh my god Amber has a fiddle and is playing it

she did stay within her minute. Russ is not there.

Oh here he is, his camera is not working. Russ is pointing out teachers will be able to teach or enforce covid protocols. Teachers are working why screw that up? He is asking the board the keep people safe.

Braxsen is a white kid who is not here for hybrid learning. He is worried that he will carry covid home to his Oma who is raising him and now i'm crying. He is begging the board the not put him in that position.

Ms. Nesbette is feel of feelings and has a ponytail. he is questioning why teachers are not being consulted. and points that elder and upper admin is bullshit.

Jorge Serrano is bringing history to the discussion of opening school. NM fucks over the brown folks why actively continue that? we are at war with a virus so why prioritize sports

Jim West is tired of APS and their bullshit with the bus depot. Why is APS trying to fuck over his neighborhood with their bus depot and the petro spills that will for sure happen.

no more public speakers, Dr. Peercy was muted.

Elder is talking, he's terrible. He wants the board to vote on reentry to parents can plan and the district can plan. A Behavioral Nurse won an award yay that lady!

Black history month online resource library created by librarians, yay them!
Hair Love
Good kind of trouble
Lifting as we climb
Woke
are some popular titles
there is a BHM art display at the central office but pictures will be posted.

Elder issued a correction to his BHM email
Black history is American history. it is interwoven with our collective culture all accomplishments, all the achievements, and tragedies are not confined to just one race it as a part of all American history and should be remembered as

such..... which is bull shit @ABQschools what other race was held in chattel slavery? What other race was the subject of jim crow laws? Slavery is American history The Survival of those enslaved is part of Black History. Those are not the same thing.

Elder is talking and reminding people of stuff, no body but elementary school kids are back.... He's mad about the comments, being inaccurate. Hobbs is open buttttttt every single teacher was offered the vaccine.

Now he is made the governor has changed the paradigm. Because that was shocking.

he is reminding people PED walked that right back after the gov caused panic

last meeting we brought force a plan for hybrid ....blah...blah...blah words

25% another 25% another 25% another 25% until we have returned 100% of kids who want to return. HE CAN DO MATH EVERYONE! he's now rehashing the last board meeting which was a cluster fuck

the voluntary plan has warts he was warned you, He did not find the unicorn to make everyone happy

SURPRISE the "whiter" parts of town wanted to return to school, the browner parts of town are not as hot to return. He just mispronounced Multigeneration. He blames no one who wants to come back or to return. Kids have rights.

He has had feelings the last two weeks, very emotional. He appreciated passion but this goes too far. this makes him tired he is not sleeping

He reminds the board that they are not alone, this sucks for everyone. He's very tactfully calling out people who are saying this is easy. He's going to push the board to make a decision, and someone is going to be mad.

I can't wait until his face turns purple and he looks constipated. that's my favorite threshold of the meeting

Some people cannot work remotely!

i'm too lazy to type that or try to be funny

25% of the faculty or staff has been COVID tested on a random basis. Elder is trying to talk HVAC and it's cute that he's trying

WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH NURSES! GAH

Principals are on sight. a super majority of teachers are not cool with returning 66% are not here for it 50% of teachers want to remain at home. 50/50 split on parents concerning return vs stay remote.
He just said bugaboo.

Parent apparently are writing to say that "OUR SCHOOL IS READY TO RETURN" well get a masters degree butthole and jump in a classroom. (that's my commentary)

not enough staff members want to return in a lot of schools so we will have wait lists for some schools.

The poor schools will require more staff, because of these groups. the not poor read: white schools will require less staff

the issue is i'm going ot guess that he isn't saying that the teachers in the poor kids area are not as pumped to return. which is a thang. Send the La cueva teacher to rio grande I've worked at both La Cueva is my least fav

He just basically said. this will suck kids will need new teacher .
week 1 teacher work from school
week 2 small group instruction, 50% model for 2 days. Wednesdays off campus learning thursday 50% come in for 2 days.

the principals are not cool with the secondary schedule. because cohort sorting sucks in this situation.

THIS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE

Remote digital instruction remains the primary source of instruction. Elder seems tired and beaten down

some schools will try to bring in hard his populations. but its optional.

Special ed in the red will continue. If you are an elementary parent and your kids teacher does not return then you don't get to return. high school kids will have to go to cyber cafe's if their *whatever* teacher doesn't return.

OH MY GOD THIS IS BULLSHIT

there are not advantages to voluntary return DO NOT LIE

the disadvantages are real and HUGE only 35% of staff seem willing to return, with no school pulling in enough staff to run an effective school. kids who need interventions that specialized staff who may not return. principals are concerned about drama among staff

and parents judging teachers who do not return. which parents will because humans are terrible.

stopped to message my kids teachers and tell them i support them whatever they decide. Elder talked i'm sure it was kind meh and passive aggressive.

if bernalillo goes green we will be back in 50/50 hybrid

elementary could be back in school on the first and the 8th could be the day for 6-12. board questions are coming which is my favorite part

no sharing of toys, tools, manipulatives in classes. ventilation has been changed/updated. kids will be allowed to stay home if they get covid. contact tracing will be a thing. there is not vaccine for students under 16 and kids are not the focus of the vaccine

Elder is starting to look pissed off

DOGGY On the SOFA!

PMA is in her laundry room?

every kid on the bus would be quarantined if a kid on that bus had the vid. Graduation ceremonies have come up. Large outdoor graduations are shot down, don't ask. elder is mad mad

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah bllllllllaaaaahhhhhh bbbbbbbbbbllllllllllah

APS is aware of three student deaths one was due to covide, two the cause is unknown.

Buffalo, Baltimore, dallas and denver report engagement rates that are similar to APS.

Lots of teachers retired, retired, or quit. My homie was one of those teachers. His absence is a loss.

for Sped in the Red Buses have been transporting 4 kids at a time on a bus.

18% of staff have the first vaccine 90% of staff wants the vaccine. 1 torte claim has been filed against APS.

lots of questions answered lots of questions will come up/remain

Elizabeth starts the questioning, District 6 the east mountains! she has questions about elementary on a volunteer basis, could we start with one class per grade? Which seems odd and arbitrary to me. There are several schools that hv whole grades of teachers would will not comein

Reentry start dates would it make sense to align those with the grading calender, end of trimester beginning of quarter? Elder says they could.

Candelaria Patterson brings up that hybrid was approved as a phase in, not a full scale reentry. I fucking love this woman. she did a zoom call with over 100 students nad 300 kids took her survey. 78% of her students want to stay on online. 87121 and 87105 learning zone two

is poor, Brown, and multigenerational. I mean Pajarito mesa does not necessarily have running water. Those families are essential frontline multigenerational homes. 78% of kids want to stay online.

She want s to know how do we keep these families safe, Can we pressure DOH to offer vaccines to students 16 and above?

APS HAS 11 NURSES WHO ARE NOT YET VACCINATED!?!?! the fuck

Candi gives me hella judgey Auntie vibes with her dark room and big gold framed glasses and her sensible cardigans. She is concerned about people who cannot choose to go to work. Custodians and secretaries. It is an issue of equity.

NOb HIll is up, Barb is up and thanking people for their hard work. teacher, custodians, and principals will step up the weight is on the BOARD to do what is right for the entire community.

She shouts out the union and all the hard work of the entire staff for problem solving.

she points out that if we hadn't locked down the death toll would have been higher! She calls out that bag of dicks who said "why do teacher think they are special" Yes teachers are special! not more special but for sure special!"

I am out of nicotine and need to take this new migraine medication let's see how this goes.

Send a letter to DOH they need to vaccine teachers! don't jump the line but get teachers vaccinated. Mr Elder do you have ideas about pressuring DOH? Elder laughs because he's a turd and then he's condescending. He's not trying to be cute

DOH fucked teachers by pulling their allocated vaccines. He will continue to politely and professionally advocate. HE assumed DOH is watching tonight, the he creepy breaks the 4th wall and askes DOH to vaccinate teachers

now she's talking about the difficulties of hybrid she is worried the community does not fully realize what hybrid looks like. teachers can teach, enforce compliance, and teach online at the same time. She says the HVAC is still fucked (she's right it is) HVAC is a mess

Lorenzo clarifies if there are doubts about voluntarily model of return. the model is at best messy. Elder is discussing "loud" letters with lots of caps lock used. Parents want to return teacher data not so much. @ the secondary level it's a mess in the voluntary model

high school kids will probably end up sitting in a room with a computer. which is great

* i sing The more we get together to Ariana because she asked how public comment went*

She hates me now
