The joint meeting of the #Worcester City Council Education subcommittee and #WorcSchools Cmte Finance and Operations isn't livestreaming on Facebook, but you can find the livestream on the @TweetWorcester site worcesterma.gov/video-on-deman…
The agenda (with substantial backup) is online here: worcesterschools.org/wp-content/upl… #WorcSchools
Oh, nice reminder of City Council purview there by the assistant clerk (aka the councilors can't make requests of the school department unless they do so through the Committee)
Notes from this #WorcSchools meeting posted here: who-cester.blogspot.com/2020/10/worces…

(I didn't take many notes on the presentation, mostly the questions and discussion)

ok, couple of things: first, I do want to share these, as it’s among the first attempts to comprehensively look at what has happened so far: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
This is the project @AASAHQ is in on (that I suggested @MASchoolsK12 could share data with), as, nationally, there isn’t centralized data collection.
Let’s note that it would be great to find that schools aren’t super-spreaders (and, as has been noted elsewhere, there are places that have been safely running schools in other countries)

At this point, I have the beginnings of several blog posts and several unsent tweets responding to a lot of the nonsense around schools right now.
I keep reopening them, re-reading, getting overwhelmed with exhaustion, and closing them again.
There’s been a recent renewal of the “why won’t anyone think of the CHILDREN” line #onhere, as if somehow it has escaped the attention of local leadership of districts that we don’t have children in buildings and that has consequences. #ThanksWeKnewThat
I think folks need to be super super careful (and I would use stronger adverbial descriptors here if I spoke that way) when speaking about the children of others whose life and experience aren’t theirs (and I speak here from inside my own glass house, as it were).

Let's plan on starting the livetweeting thread here (I'll be jumping off this around 11:30, as I have a presentation to do) #mapoli #MAEdu
Rep. Michlewitz regarding MA's net contribution to federal taxes on President's tweets: he "should stop referencing us as a blue state and start calling us a green state" #mabudget
Rodriguez precarious position: still no help from federal government, high unemployment, ravaged by health
revenues up a meagre 1%

#MAEdu folks, if the main thing you're pulling from yesterday (and the only thing you're directing your ire at) is the note that we'll have the MCAS in the spring, you've missed the main ongoing undermining of district efforts to keep students and staff safe during a pandemic.
Note that the Governor, in defiance of both logic and best practice, reopened major gathering spaces in so-called green or grey communities.
That is precisely what is not needed at this time.
The Secretary of Education pointedly thanked *only* those districts and school committees that worked to get students back into buildings (not any of the rest of us, apparently).
