So here’s the kicker: “endemic” doesn’t mean “never think about covid again”. It’s exactly the opposite! Endemic means someone is ALWAYS thinking about covid. Endemic means public health is always monitoring disease & always intervening when cases cross the “acceptable” level.

I hope, @POTUS , that you mean "educators," as @SecCardona notes. Bus drivers, school nutrition workers, custodians, instructional assistants, principals...everyone who works in a school or with schoolchildren needs to be vaccinated, please.

On a 6-1 vote tonight, the #WorcSchools Cmte passed a motion calling on the state to have free, ongoing easily accessible testing with a quick turnaround operating across the state before any district brings students back into session. #MAEdu #mapoli

I have it on very good authority that tonight the Amherst (MA) Board of Health unanimously voted to add the COVID vaccination to those required to attend the schools. The timeline is to be determined by the School Committee. #MAEdu

Just want to confirm that it can be true: •that kids are struggling; •that this is true regardless of how their education was delivered last year; •that this is in no way indicated by the wearing of pajamas or staring off into space.

"Rothschild said it’s part of a shift in how the QAnon community now views its mission: stop waiting for the prophecy to come true, and make it happen by winning off-year, low-turnout local elections."

QAnon's new 'plan'? Run for school board

In the wake of Donald Trump's 2020 election defeat, many QAnon followers have hatched a plan: run for school board or local office, spread the gospel of Q, but don’t call it QAnon.

ok, look, as someone who reads #MAEdu news across the state every day, I'm telling you that there is a growing amount of this happening that hasn't been happening in months. PAY ATTENTION.

ahead of whatever the Governor is going to bless us with today, I'm just going to note again that literally no one under 16 is vaccinated at all

It was Frederick Douglass who put it best: "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." Rest today, so we can go back to demanding tomorrow.

I don't want any more invitations to Zooms from outside organizations on how schools should reopen nor do I want any more emails on magical pandemic equipment. I want the state to have guidance that elevates HEALTH and I want the fed AND the state to fund what they should.
