Where is the secondary instructional model ?  Why
do we not have this yet.  We cannot make decisions without basic information.

I am concerned that there are not enough staff members to safely support the functioning of our buildings, and as a result, we will be pressured to do job tasks that are out of the scope of our duties.

Nothing in this MOU is different than what is already being done by the District health and safety wise.  Nothing will change.  Your nurse are on it.

Will we have to go back if we do not have an agreement but reach Inlee’s dates?

What email are you referencing that talks about fear mongering?

In something I read, it sounded like we would be teaching in person in the morning and then teaching the same lessons again synchronously virtually. Is this what it would look like at secondary? I’m concerned about how this cuts out time for connecting with students more individually as we currently use the time in the afternoon.

Are there stipulations about the results of the survey (regarding intent around parents sending students  back to school) being shared with SEA?

What about "staying the course?" What happens if we do that?

With Inslee's proclamation for secondary to return 4/19, right after spring break where are students, family and staff may be traveling. Is there a plan for student and staff safety?

Is there info about how the SEA board voted on the Do Pass for the TA?

Could we ask for immediate eligibility for families of students at Title 1 schools? This would help reach many of our most vulnerable families.

Parents are not able to make truly informed decisions at this time. Transportation is a big mess.
The elementary schedule is suddenly being voted on to change to an earlier start time of 8-10:45 for the morning cohorts, and 11:45-2:30 for the afternoon cohort but the board is not voting until 3.24. The need to make a change is to allow for transportation, and the district does not have contracts yet. Contracts will be based on families response for return.

So much of the work around health and safety preparedness, compliance, and accountability within our individual buildings falls to the Health and Safety Committee/Team. They are expected to do this work on top of their regular (non-pandemic) responsibilities, and are offered a one-time stipend of $2,000, regardless of school size. (A school with 300 students and staff will receive the same funding as a school with nearly 2,000?) When I read this, and saw that SPS couldn’t fund full time nurses in all of their schools DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, I knew health and safety was not a priority.

Is the an SEA space?
I heard you say it’s not SEA sanctioned but then asking media, etc. to leave this SEA space- can you clarify is this an SEA space or not?

Are there limits on the number of students per classroom? Or just that they need to be 6 ft apart?

Will students (Middle and High) have to switch teachers if they decide return in person vs. stay online? Switching teachers is unacceptable and will lead to us losing what student engagement we have.

Can Inslee just make mandates that nullify what we say anyway? For instance, if we agree to the TA which includes having students 6ft apart can he just say "no, it's 3 ft now"?

I share Sha'ron's concerns about the policing of black and brown children in schools re: COVID-safe behaviors. Teachers should not have to be the COVID enforcers.

This classroom seats just nine students, all wearing typical cloth face masks, facing forward and sitting six feet apart. With all of the windows closed, the room would lack sufficient ventilation. That's a problem with an airborne virus.

I am worried that our community members/families will look to the schools that are and have been open all across the country, and see us as a bunch of selfish, irrational, privileged people hiding behind our union. SEA should have done a better job messaging our concerns and demands to our community.

Regardless of how the TA is voted, SEA needs to do better at messaging and staying ahead of the story instead of playing defense.

If secondary students are responsible for their younger siblings it is going to be extremely difficult to get students in the building without causing more disruption to home schedules and routines.

How does a cohort model make sense if a teacher is teaching more than on cohort? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of cohorting?

Like Matt said, I’m concerned about the TA making people come in on-site to work remotely.

Another issue is the fact that there will be some level of state testing happening this year. Unacceptable.

District could not cover even the bandwidth to do our work from home and chose to ride on our financial backs to prop up their lack of infrastructure support.

These protections are available to you currently - if you are experiencing a mental health need that is worsened by the pandemic, you may be eligible for an accommodation now (current MOU, TA we are voting)
