"We [admin] attend weekly meetings to get the most up to date information including metrics and plans for schools opening for students."

😑

Yet there is still no concrete plan. Just an approx 200 page nothing of a PDF offering "guidance" on things that will be impossible to manage effectively IRL. And of course all the "helpful links" on the district website it's expected staff will have the free time to peruse. We were recently told we'll be moving (staff only) on-site two days a week to "build confidence." With the "priority" being staff working mask-less in their rooms. I had to explicitly ask for detailed information on cleaning procedures within this plan, and no news yet on whether they're factoring transmission through air vents. Even if staff are "alone" in their rooms, they are not alone in the building. 🤦

I don't have confidence at all just being told how frequently admin is meeting if the output from said meetings has been continued shoulder shrugs and "thoughts and prayers."

100% ready to show up for my on-site days in a mask and gloves, not take them off all day, not eat or use the bathroom (because I haven't done either of those things in a public place since quarantine started, so not breaking the habit now). And we'll see if those thoughts and prayers have made on-site technology available for me to use... 🤷 (I'm using my personal laptop rn from home, but I'm not bringing that into a building where the "priority" is folks being about without masks on.)

End rant. Thanks for the vent allowance.

Stay as safe as you're able out there, friends.
