There have been times when it has been clear to me that folks in charge haven’t been teachers and that has mattered a lot.
Right now it’s clear that we don’t have experienced district administrators running things.
There’s what keeps being said, and then the reality at the district level.
“You need to be more flexible with staffing.”
First, you’ve clearly not reflected on how much time teachers and others put in versus what the perception is.
Second, there are (rightfully) regulatory and contractual issues with “flexibility” in staffing.
“The core premise of restorative justice is that it is OK to make mistakes. We learn from mistakes. But if our mistakes render harm, then it is also our responsibility to acknowledge the harm we’ve caused, and to make it right.”
And to read with that; if you’re involved in #MAEdu, use one of your Globe articles here:

I LOVE this question, and I got so excited about it that I added slides to my presentation for Friday to be sure that School Committee members can answer it, and then I never came back here and answered it! Sorry! So:
First up, let’s realize where we are with this money; this doesn’t stretch back to the beginning, but it does give an idea of where we are compared to when it needs to be gone; you are at the blue arrow, just about.
(The above slide borrowed from @Brian_E_Allen’s section of the ESSER presentation done with @awrsdsupt & @lexingtonsuper at the Joint Conference in November. I added the arrow.)
