I’ve been inundated with reports of school districts spending state and federal Covid relief money on substantial one-time bonuses to teachers and administrators instead of spending them on getting kids back in classrooms or to curb learning loss.

This thread will document them.
First, it’s fitting to start with what the @NEAToday pres. admitted Friday night.

In her words, the light at the end of the tunnel is... the 1.9T fed aid package giving 170B to schools.

You’d think this money would be spent on PPE, supplies, and programs for kids. Not quite...
This is the craziest one I’ve seen so far, $6K proposed bonus!
This one gives 1% of base pay, including to the superintendent. Teachers get an extra $500 stipend.
This district paying $2,500 in bonuses for future trips to Hawaii.
Here’s the one that kicked it off. $1k bonus and $250 stipend.
Poor Galt teachers only getting $750. 🙄
Keeps coming.
Adding Oakland, CA
Adding to the wall of shame.
Add a few more schools to the bonus thread. Teachers at Sweetwater get a 7% bonus. San Ysidro kids get one day a week in the classroom.

How about 0% and return full-time?
Still happening.
The board apparently will be voting on this at Tuesday’s meeting.

🚨 BOMBSHELL 🚨

Newly PRA’d emails show @WeAreCTA conducted opposition research on school reopening parent groups during the school shutdowns in CA.

Then after a principal was accidentally CC’d, the “damage control” was asking him to illegally delete the email.

1/🧵
The email was initiated by CTA researcher, Ann Swinburn, to an activist parent arm of the local union.

In the email Ann says, she is “currently doing some research into the various ‘reopen’ groups around the state.”

2/🧵
In Dec 2020, the local SDUHSD union, with help from CTA, sued the district to stay closed. Parents then successfully sued to open schools in March 2021.

The CTA researcher was wanting to dig up intel on the parents funding the reopen lawsuits. (Hint: It was just parents.)

Principal for @mvwschools called police on a four-year old for not wearing a mask.

The officer was cordial and understanding, but the child could not stay. The child has missed school most of this week.

There is no state or county school mask mandate where this school resides.
This same school allows maskless adults use its gym in the evening for recreational basketball, but is forcing kids as young as four to mask indoors all day.
Here is the video posted to Rumble. rumble.com/v1ghh23-elemen…

HUGE NEWS: A judge ruled this morning that @LASchools’ student Covid vaccine mandate was illegal, blocking LAUSD from sending kids to independent study for not getting the Covid vaccine.
Even though LAUSD delayed their mandate to align with the state timeline, they still intended on excluding kids from in-person instruction if they did not get the Covid vaccine.
While the judge was deciding this case (took him 90 days), LAUSD is supporting SDUSD in their appeal of a similar ruling.

In other words, LAUSD and SDUSD continue to waste tax payer money defending their blatantly illegal mandate.

Getting reports that after hundreds protested against school mask mandates yesterday, today, @OakdaleJUSD barricaded any student not properly wearing a mask in the gym and refused to turn on the heat. Police were called for a wellness check and police turned on the heat.
Update: Confirmed staff attempted to barricade the maskless high schoolers in the gym by putting tables in front of the exits. A staff member also was caught turning down the thermostat to “freeze them out.” Here is one of the photos taken by a student.
After later “escaping” the freezing gym, the kids marched to the district headquarters in protest.

In cruel acknowledgment cloth masks don’t work, @lapublichealth will be updating LA school guidance so that no one (for the next 2-4 wks), including students, should only wear a cloth mask. They will have to wear a N95, KN95, or a surgical mask (preferably w/ a cloth mask).
They also will be making adjustments to quarantines (possibly to align w/ CDC updates?), strongly recommend every kid test three days before school starts, and limiting who can be on campus, including parents from congregating on campus when picking up their kids.
One positive is there are no plans at this time for schools in LA county to temporarily close for in person instruction in January and do distance-learning. Caveat, though, is “at this time.”

LAUSD neglectfully exposed PHI of 130+ students, potentially leading to $250,000 in fines. It’s been close to 48 hours and LAUSD hasn’t notified the families or acknowledged the exposure. 🧵
1/
Early Mon morning, several unsuspecting parents received 130+ emails, each containing a kid’s name and that the kid was exempt from routine Covid testing because the kid recently recovered from Covid... except none of the 130+ emails were for the recipient’s kid.
2/
Deleted a few tweets previously in thread as I incorrectly cited HIPAA. Definitely in new territory with testing providers operating at school sites and TPA’s managing this stuff, but if this is coming from school records, looks like FERPA would apply. h/t @badtakesbad
