DCPS’s #ReopenWrong is responsible for this. Teachers, students & parents were sold a “plan” that was tissue paper thin. Listen to the people who are in the building every day and Support the students taking action for safe schools.

🙏🏼for this. But why’s there Xtra dcps “human capital” $22 mil that can be deployed to support COVID test/tracing & subs now? It’s week 8! Parents & staff have been ⚠️ concerns for months. Districts that opened earlier showed us how NOT to do it.. & yet here we are #reopenwrong

Earlier today 9 of my colleagues joined me in writing @DCPSChancellor Ferebee about hiring delays in processing clearances for #DC teachers and out-of-school time professionals. Our students & families are counting on these critical instructors and programs!

@dcpublicschools decided not to post any case notifications on Saturday, even though I assure you they had info ready to go out for many. Which means you now get to see me do 20 notifications in a row. #ReopenWrong

You'll remember @POTUS and company were at Brookland Middle on 9/10, touting the safety of in-person learning. Yup, things are safe. #reopenwrong
ALT Statement from Mayor Bowser on President Biden’s Visit to Brookland Middle School Friday, September 10, 2021 (Washington, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser released the following statement after President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., First Lady Jill Biden, and U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona joined the Mayor at Brookland Middle School to tour a classroom, showcase safe, in-person learning and to promote COVID-19 vaccinations. “We thank President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and Secretary Cardona for visiting with our Brookland Middle School community and witnessing first-hand the excitement that only a class of joyful students can deliver. We continue to be grateful for the dedication and hard work of those in our school communities for their creativity, flexibility, and resilience over the past two years and, now, their support of a strong reopening of our schools. “We know that our students thrive and do their best when they are in school – surrounded by their classmates, teachers

The @dcpublicschools numbers will only ever make sense when they 1. TEST the number of people they say they’re going to test & 2. follow reporting norms for cases such as 7 day average, cases/100k, etc. They don’t & they won’t. The word is travishamockery. #ReopenWrong

We need hard pressing coverage!! Frankly if families wanted to read the press release or propaganda we could wait for the next Mayor Bowser Presents celebration over the rosy state of this PANDEMIC!!! #DCPSvirtualOption #reopenwrong #OnlyWhenItsSafe

A @dcpublicschools location has a student who is positive. All her siblings are still at the school, untested. Daily. Teachers are horrified #reopenwrong

This is why we need a #DCPSvirtualOption now!! Almost 16 months after leaving the hospital and I still spend most of my time juggling dr appts for ongoing symptoms. This isn’t something a child should have to do! #reopenwrong help! @ChmnMendelson @chenderson @RobertWhite_DC

@MayorBowser @DCPSChancellor @CMLewisGeorgeW4 These school conditions are NOT SAFE!! Hit repeat on all these individual stories from school communities for HVAC, lack of supplies, unsafe conditions and zero social distancing! #reopenWrong

Do any other Ts feel WAY more nervous about maintaining distance in their classrooms? Like, the stakes feel SO much higher with Delta & 2x as many kids…the risk if we screw up is literally death or long term illness…! #reopenwrong

Another case for #ReOpenWrong. Millions of $$$ spent to “ensure” that DCPS is “safe!” 😒 We are the stakeholders, if we don’t hold DCPS accountable, the 💩 show continues! #OnlyWhenItsSafe is not a slogan. We cannot be worn down or acquiesce. #OnlyWhenItsSafe

This was 4 weeks ago at a DCPS K-8 school. It wasn't only staffing issues that pushed back the #reopenwrong plan. It was also DCPS careless planning and longstanding neglect of facilities updates. @swwwtu @WTUTeacher @deliangoncalves

Setting aside the context of these data, the idea that the DCPS #reopenwrong plan will address the ongoing opportunity gap is wrong- @MaryLevy17 already broke that down. Stop digging deeper, admit you’re wrong, work with stakeholders- please! washingtonpost.com/local/edu…

People have grasped that this is a once-in-a-century (we hope) public health emergency, and its going to get worse before it gets better. Distance Learning is painful, but it’s not fatal or contagious. Let’s not #ReopenWrong

Whoops indeed! Would love to see this correction get as much attention as the erroneous numbers got when they were blasted out and used to push an awful #reopenwrong plan, along with more context explaining tests used and all factors that could contribute to lower scores
