Is it BuildBPS or CloseBPS?
Excellent overview of what’s happening and what’s likely to happen next.

.@marty_walsh Please: announce you will close @BostonSchools now. Don't wait another minute. Parents need to make arrangements for childcare. Teachers need time to prepare materials. The longer you wait, the more anxious our city becomes #closeBPS

#closebps these children are coming home to all walks of life. Their parents or grandparents may be immunocompromised. The businesses are smart enough to work to an online solution, why can't you?

by refusing to cancel or delaying the cancellation of #bostonpublicschools our local gorvernment is putting over 54k students and staff at risk. terrifying for students, staff, and the whole Boston community. #closebps #bospoli @marty_walsh

#bospoli They do not seem to be at all aware. @marty_walsh @BCassellius @mtloconto #ProtectBPS #coronadeniers #CloseBPS

They can’t confirm a case because Boston doesn’t have any tests. Doesn’t BPS know that? A person could go to the ER with all the symptoms and they wouldn’t be tested. They could get treated, but not tested. Unless you have traveled to a hotspot or are a Biogen bigwig.

#bospoli The silence from city leaders on the urgent need to #CloseBPS in order to #ProtectBPS parents, students, children is very troubling. @marty_walsh @BCassellius @mtloconto How many infections are required for you to take leadership action?

I’m one who usually thinks that school should open, but the ice situation makes this a really bad decision. It’s going to warm up on Wednesday. Why not wait one day and spend that day making schools safer? #CloseBPS

This is extremely unsafe and negligent of the young children and students who have to walk to school and stand at bus stops in almost 0° temperatures. #CLOSEBPS

The undaunted voice of an 8th grader, defending their school community against Mayor Walsh’s latest shadowy real estate scheme. #CloseBPS #bospoli #mapoli #BuildBPS

i am an 8th grade student at @McCormackMiddle , this plan to " shut down " our school is nothing anyone is looking forward to. This is my school,my home, a safe area to be and you are trying to destroy it.

Former BPS teacher/parent/student @clanghoff1 points out that this plan also fosters competition among schools & shades @EdVestors & Laura Perille for their influence in this direction. #BuildBPS #CloseBPS #bospoli

The school they're meant to go to next year doesn't even have an ESL program, yet the McCormick has a large ESL population. #BuildBPS #CloseBPS

#bospoli #buildbps #MartysClosures McCormick teacher: closure plan is an anti-equity plan that disproportionately impacts black and brown students, and sends them to an underperforming school.
