Open Schools Berkeley @BerkeleyOpen
An open school is a normal school - with faces, smiles, dances, and performances. Kids have faced the harshest restrictions, now let them thrive! busdparents.com Berkeley, CA Joined January 2021-

"The learning loss crisis is more consequential than many elected officials have yet acknowledged. A collective sense of urgency by all Americans will be required to avert its most devastating effects on the nation's children." nytimes.com/2023/11/18/opi…
It's unfortunate I have to issue this statement but I needed to speak up. Dirty campaigning has no place anywhere, and certainly not in Berkeley.
Very happy that my paper “School in the time of covid” is part of this special issue on public health ethics during the pandemic. I hope the volume inspires more critical analysis of pandemic policy from a range of academic fields.
📰I edited a special issue of Monash Bioethics Review on pandemic public health ethics For background, read my paper in link below For the excellent contributions by @pgodfreysmith @DiegoSilvaPhD @ShamikDasgupta1 and other non-twitter stars, see next 🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
@BerkeleyParents @GuerillaMomz @BPUParents @ChickenKatsuFTW @BerkeleyOpen The only surprise is that @runwithmike2022 and @JenniferShanos1 haven't denounced these accounts yet. Are you proud to count them amongst your supporters? These are purveyors of disinformation gunning for your campaign -- is that what you stand for?
@BerkeleyParents @GuerillaMomz @BPUParents @ChickenKatsuFTW This is not surprising. @ChickenKatsuFTW has spent the last 1.5yrs tagging me and the @BerkeleyOpen account I used to run with a cascade of juvenile remarks, none of which have any pretense to being a positive or serious contribution. You can check the record yourself.
Fixed it
Finally, a Democrat governor acknowledges what a mistake school closures were and how badly they affected women, and vows to get to the bottom of how it all happened. 🔥🔥🔥from @GovKathyHochul. Your move, @GavinNewsom.
New paper by our member @ShamikDasgupta1 arguing that school closures were a "moral catastrophe". Includes a discussion of the deranged political dynamics that went down in Berkeley CA. What a sorry & inexcusable episode. @BerkeleyUnified x.com/ShamikDasgupta…
My paper "School in the time of Covid" is now published! It's not timely and won't be as widely read as the terrific op ed pieces on this topic over the past 2 years. But I'm glad to contribute something to the academic record about this catastrophe. May it never be repeated.
Amazing campaign kick off. Thanks to everyone who came, took yard signs, and supported #kidsfirst. Thanks to @LauraBabitt and @KaDijahBrown6 for their wonderful messages. We need fair representation of kids and families #thinkdifferently @BerkeleyOpen @MaraKole retweet widely!

At the school board meeting yesterday there were several calls to enhance mental health services. A claim that I have been making since Sep 2020. This is serious and acute, given this week’s events. Retweet if you agree. #berkeley #thinkdifferently @MaraKole @BerkeleyOpen
We need STUDENTS FIRST candidates for school board. And we need them now. Endorsements from the political establishment don't representing STUDENTS FIRST. Think about it when you vote. #thinkdifferently @BerkeleyOpen @marakole @JeanneNoble18 @JesseArreguin Retweet if you agree
Come and kick off her campaign on June 11th in Cedar Rose Park! Help make public education all it can be. 3/3
Mara is ready to think differently - ready to do whatever it takes to deliver excellence through the Berkeley school system. She holds values and priorities that can elevate all children in Berkeley. 2/ marakolesas.com/values-and-pri…
Thrilled that @MaraKolesas is running for @BerkeleyUnified school board! Mara is passionate about public education in Berkeley and is dedicated to putting children first. 1/ marakolesas.com
More evidence that school mask mandates have no measurable effect on covid outcomes — this is a lovely quasi-experimental design from Spain. @BerkeleyUnified made exactly the right call to drop its mask mandate next week, let’s hope other districts follow. @CAParentPower
In Catalonia 🇪🇸, 6yo wore masks in schools but 5yo did not A brilliant team used this to see what effect mask wearing had on #COVID19 transmission Finding: No difference between the two groups Conclusion: No meaningful effect of masking school children papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
❤️❤️❤️
Some will choose to continue masking, others will choose not to - may all choices be respected! @arthur_samuels puts it beautifully: x.com/arthur_samuels…
NYC educators and parents, tomorrow please 👉 Don't imply that there is a "right" choice. 👉 No "take that mask off, I'd love to see you smile." 👉 No "keeping your mask on is a sign of respect." Just let kids know that you love them & are happy to see them, masked or not.
. @BerkeleyUnified will end its mask mandate on March 14! It's a symbolic date - exactly 2 years since schools closed. After all they've been forced to give up, these kids deserve this release. Thank you @BerkeleyUnified for doing the right thing. 1/2
