Interesting graphic. With cases going up we should only be thinking about #safety #ReopeningSchools
Replying to @DPEA62
@DPEA62 D62 should not be offering full, in-person learning.

Replying to @DPEA62
From my conversations with @62schools it seems that there has been much more academic thought put into remote learning pedagogy and relationships. In person will be daycare with teachers talking at kids, worksheet time, and little to no true teacher socioemotional interaction.

Dear Government: If it was super safe to open schools you would also be opening movie theaters, having concerts, sorting events, etc. with the same guidelines. Wear a mask. Face forward. 6 feet apart. Easy. But you’re not.

And still 14 Florida Marlins tested positive. Let’s learn and not repeat!
MLB has so much money and so many resources. They eat lunch outside and separated. The MLB could not make it one week into the season without an outbreak. Children in school are expected to eat in the classroom, then spend the rest of the day in that same room. @DPEA62

Dear parents, please know we miss your children and want nothing more than to be back in school teaching and learning in person. Please also know the safety of students, families, and our community will always be our top priority.

USA Today,"The trend is consistent with data from Florida. About one-third of children tested in the state for COVID-19 returned positive results, which is higher than the overall statewide positivity rate of 11%, according to state data." @DPEA62 @teachersafety

Full. Remote. Learning.
The School Bd. has directed D57 to move forward with the plan of holding full remote learning when school resumes and phasing in a hybrid model on 10/19 if it is deemed safe at that time. Please read Dr. Aumiller's Bd. mtg. recap/next steps, at this link: d57.org/July24thMessage.aspx.

Parents, if your child is returning to school, PLEASE spend the last week of break having him/her practice wearing a mask for 6+ hours/day. The first day back will be stressful and mask discomfort will only make it worse. #BackToSchool

Dear @GovPritzker 👇🏽
Dear @JBPritzker we are on the rise again and schools are about to open. Superintendents around the state are in a no win situation. Make the call to go remote. Don’t let IL be the next FL.
