@GovSisolak Let ME, a CCSD educator, be clear.

I have had to cover other classes, of my colleagues have had to have 2-4 classes combined to cover other classes, and this is all due to staff shortages. This pause is going to do NOTHING when we still work W and TH to start it on Friday. 1/
@GovSisolak People who do not take this pandemic seriously now have a 4-day weekend and think it’s time to live it up a little. 2/
@GovSisolak I’m home with COVID, second time having it. I am vaxxed + boosted. 4 of 5 of my kids are also positive. Many of my students are out bc they are positive of their household is positive. Many students in CCSD have been sent to school sick bc their parents don’t have sick leave. 3/
@GovSisolak Many teachers are lying about their symptoms after seeing how their colleagues are being held up for 5+ days to be cleared by CCSD nurses to return to work bc they don’t have any/many sick days. 4/
@GovSisolak These stacked problems are being complicated and bloated due to underlying problems in CCSD BEFORE the pandemic. CCSD has had a sub shortage + high teacher vacancies for years. 5/
@GovSisolak .@GovSisolak, you say you are the educators’ biggest supporter yet all your string of tweets tell us is that you don’t care about the broke system that was already in place and that we better shape up and get back to work. 6/
@GovSisolak Well, I’m sure I speak for many educators in NV when I say you better shape up and recognize there is still much work to be done to fix NV education OR we will be shopping for a new governor. Be #1forkids and #1foreducators or stop saying you support us. 7/7

Our children aren’t okay.

We had a lockdown yesterday. Four fights popped off at once literally right at the end of first lunch. We have three lunches. We had to halt launches to clear out every area and snag all those who were involved. 1/?
My students and a few (student) visitors I took in that were stragglers in the hallways when I did a sweep and locked out my hallway’s double doors, were just in disbelief after the adrenaline wore off. 2/?
They were worried about what was going on because it was literally four fights at once. They just knew they were safe but without information, so they still felt unsafe. 3/?

.@SteveSisolak, you state you support schools reopening.

Well, educators do also. We support schools reopening SAFELY!

Here is how you, our Governor, can support us in CCSD. 1/9
1️⃣ Ensure that there are enough vaccines for teaches to receive two doses in the preferred timeframe.
2️⃣ Encourage Superintendent Jara to make this a priority, as well as send out a statement to district employees of his plan to ensure we will not open schools until all 2/9
teachers have been given the opportunity to choose to take the vaccine.
3️⃣ Encourage Superintendent Jara to release information showing how many cleaning supply items each school possesses. This is to ensure we can turn to the community and ask for help in order provide 3/9

I think ALL parents feel this way to some degree. We teachers wish we could do exactly this and sprinkle in more social emotional connections. I’m here to tell you, we aren’t the problem. Teachers want to slow down. However, in NV, schools are rated by various elements. 1/9
One element is student achievement through high-stakes testing. The more in target students are, the better the rating. Guess what teachers are still attempting to do? You guessed it. In some form, we are still teaching to meet those standards as much as we can. 2/9
Also, most teachers have not been encouraged to really slow down and meet needs for the here and now. Instead, we are being encouraged to do what we can for students while still sticking with pacing of standards. 3/9
