Here we go again with the CDC! Still looking for solid and appropriate school guidelines! Where is the United States Secretary of Education??? To all administrators, teachers, support staff and students - be safe!!#edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Pelham Union Free School District had to postpone in-person learning due to high school students partying in the woods! The superintendent has done exceptional work LEADING her school district through this complicated issue! Well done- Dr. Champ!!#edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Best wishes to all my colleagues and friends as you embark upon a new school year! Please be safe and take care of yourselves, your staff and your students. I know you will be successful!!!#edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Now the CDC changes its guidelines? How are our schools ever going to open safely???#edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Could not tolerate the conversation last evening regarding school choice! Support public education - it is one of the most important components of our democracy!#edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Monitoring the schools is Florida as this is the first week of in-person education! These teachers, staff and administrators should be commended! Unfortunately, many students and staff have already been placed under quarantine! Be safe!! #edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Best wishes to all my colleagues in Sewanhaka as they prepare to return to school! A great group of administrators, teachers, staff and students!! Be safe and I know that you will educate and learn in an exceptional manner! #edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

When we collaborate with our students and ask them to contribute to the conversations and decisions - most of the time we get it right!!!#edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Policy makers and State and Federal leaders must include Superintendents, building level administrators, teachers, staff and parents/guardians in the conversation about safely reopening schools! Most importantly - ask the students!!!#edchat #BayviewEdConsulting

Watching WESH 4 news in Orlando special on back to school. What a huge challenge for administration, staff, teachers and parents/guardians!!! Be careful and stay safe!! #BayviewEdConsulting

Teachers resigning all over the country! What a travesty- who will teach our children? #BayviewEdConsuting

Can’t vote in schools in November because schools aren’t open due to pandemic? Are you kidding me? Most schools closed on Election Day to facilitate voting and for security reasons! #BayviewEdConsulting

#BayviewEdConsulting In-person, virtual, hybrid? The decision has been made by now either by districts or elected officials! Every district should conduct a Tregoe Ed. Potential Problem Analysis to be prepared for opening of school in an effective manner!

While serving as Superintendent of Schools in Sewanhaka, we effectively prepared the District for virtual learning! Personal devices for ALL students and staff, all curriculum for all courses in learning management system, Geogebra graphing calculators! Equity initiative!!’

I am certain that all NJ Superintendents are frustrated!! It's a shame that these decisions are placed on Superintendents. National and State elected leadership needs to take the proactive lead based on science!!!

Relocated to Florida and carefully watching the worsening trend of the pandemic in this State! People here need to take this serious!!!!

Be careful sending your children back to school. Please take care of teachers and staff who are risking a great deal to educate their students! I pray that this does not make the pandemic worse!!!
