If you don’t understand why all actions/inactions indicate public education is on the ballot at all levels, ask! Find someone who will explain it to you. Then...share! ⚫️...⚫️...⚫️ Connect Dots!

Federal bullying w/ $ threats does not open classrooms, but does open room for frustration, decreased opportunities, parent confusion, & dangerous decision-making. Instead focus:1) extending USDA waivers for meals 2) testing waivers 3) adequate COVID $ 4) erate $/expansion 5)...

Those who never had interest in funding SEL & often referred to it as “fluff” or “only family responsibilities” are now saying it’s a primary reason for student return. Should we anticipate future adequate funding for counselors, social workers, behaviorist, SEL PD, ... ? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Admin, once school plans & back up plans are in place, make sure your priority is the support & morale of your staff. There has never been a time when it is more important. It should be your main focus for the entire school year.

If there was ever a time schs needed federal support, it is now. Students deserve an unprecedented federal investment in resources not cuts or diversion of funds. Schools deserve a federal champion to lift our leaders, support our teachers & believe in the safety of our kids.

@ChN1_TaoAn @Robespierre0220 @soloyochapin @itsJeffTiedrich @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden It will be a “tremendous” failure! “The best” failure “the world has ever seen!”

In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!

We have to provide leadership. If not people follow the loudest voice rather than the right one.

This picture from a 5th grade classroom during my first year at Parkwood is a perfect portrait of one of the main reasons I chose for my own kids to transfer to the school. #WeAreTheWood #ParkwoodPRIDE #DadsAsPrincipals #CelebrateDiversity

Parkwood Elementary is letting their students know how much they are missed! #parkwoodpride #WeAreGreater

Our only mandate right now should be educators take care of your families first. And parents take care of your families first. There is no second point or mandate.

@IUSoutheast recognized @ParkwoodElem Summer Academy for the 2020 Community Engagement Partnership Award between Principal @BrandonJW3, Drs. Mink and Ridout, and @IUSoutheastSOE students helping English Learners and low income students with literacy and mathematics instruction.

Dear Education, please don't over-complicate this situation. Let teachers offer some enrichment,encourage students to read, & check in on their students! Then let them take care of their own families, elderly parents, food shortages, etc. Don't make us look worse than politicians
