Even if someone takes their mask off and sneezes on a surface.  I don’t think such a focus on cleaning surfaces is a good use of time. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/science-and-research/surface-transmission.html]]> 2021-04-30 01:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476558097 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476590356 So since kids are 6 feet apart in the classroom would they not need to quarantine?]]> 2021-04-30 02:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476590356 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476648952 2021-04-30 02:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476648952 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476650520 I’m not sure what the staffing has to do with our collaboration?]]> 2021-04-30 02:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476650520 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476655787 The size of Abernethy classes has consistently been an issue. PTA funds have been used for reading specialists and a 1/2 grade teacher to alleviate the class numbers. What are the avg. class sizes for grades 4 & 5 at Abernethy and Grout?

It’s important to understand that the district uses a differentiated funding model to increase equity, not because communities who can do so are expected to fundraise.]]> 2021-04-30 02:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476673636 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476674948 2021-04-30 02:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476674948 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476683360 What are the percentages of students meeting benchmark at Grout and Abernethy?]]> 2021-04-30 02:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476683360 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476686806 Who votes the budget in?

That is pretty unique in the district and can create many situations that are contrary to the goals of the national and state PTA.]]> 2021-04-30 02:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476711678 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476714943 2021-04-30 02:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476714943 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476737900 Several PPS schools are not able to raise foundation funds in order to add a reading specialist; when individual schools can meet our own needs through fundraising that involves a lot of resources of time and energy that could be put towards ensuring ALL kids in our district have access to what they need.]]> 2021-04-30 03:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476737900 https://padlet.com/colsen119/u1yarxel1njxszch/wish/1476742239 I am not a PTA member and will not be a PTA member until the Foundation and PTA are once again separate.
