I was asked yesterday by a teacher who lingered after one of my superintendent search input sessions:

"You're in a lot of districts. Is everyone this exhausted?"
"Yes," I said. "And the thing is: it's ALL PARTS of school districts."
(this may have been more than the teacher was asking for!)

It's the students, who have been making that known through walkouts and presentations and press.

It's the families, for whom each part of this has been a balancing act of pieces without enough outside support.

Note that including remote participation for public comment is on the #WorcSchools Governance subcommittee docket for Thursday’s meeting, as they take up our rules.
Agenda is here, along with individually proposed redrafts.

This is one where it is going to be VERY important to remember that the subcommittee *proposes* changes to the full committee.

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.

Our vaccination access is still NOT based on folks lacking time during the day and NOT based on folks not having cars, enough.
