Seen on FB - don't know if it's true, but LA public schools have a good safety plan proposed:

I sense a political motive as poorly masked as the populace.

It looks accurate

OMG

This from 10 days ago

The Los Angeles Teacher’s Union is one of the largest in the state, and the “United Teachers Los Angeles” say public schools should not reopen unless their demands are met.

Their demands include implementing a moratorium on private schools, defunding the police, increasing taxes on the wealthy, implementing Medicare for all, and passing the HEROES Act, which allocated and additional $116 billion in federal education funding to the states.

The unions demands also took aim at charter schools.

@George-K

I just found five or six news sources reporting about this list. They seem to think it's real.

That is too funny! M&M’s is still pissed that they don’t teach cursive anymore.

FWIW, they taught my son cursive here, just a couple years ago

The way our civilization has advanced, two-thumb typing is way more important then cursive writing anyway. Do they still offer typing class? Have the adapted it to focus on two-thumb typing?

So what, specifically, is the plan when a teacher gets Covid? How about students? Food handlers?

It would be interesting to know how many schools simply haven’t figured it out yet.

This might be the most accurate thing I have seen on the subject.

Fair!!

Heck, they probably do that at Phibes’ company meeting.

We’ll see by Halloween how predictive this is.

[Mik]

yes, we will. it is difficult to see it being successful.

[Copper]

What is the goal?

Zero get infected?

OK, then never open anything.

A few get infected?

Open some things.

I can't remember where I saw it (North Clackamas School District?) but the "plan" was something like if 3 kids test positive the entire school shuts down again for 14 days.

Sounds like a bumpy ride.
