See that grass? That's where my kid plays soccer at recess. This happened at night, but Monroe showed us, it happens during the day, too. This is why I participate in #saferoutestoschool and this is why I'm anxious for #a2council to implement more traffic calming in neighborhoods

#a2schoolboard: regarding the potential sale of Balas, that would bring some money into the district, but some of those proceeds would go back into the sinking fund (because the sinking fund paid for repairs).
#a2schoolboard: more rationale presented for why AAPS should join litigation against social media companies:
#a2schoolboard is back from the brief recess. The law firms are now answering questions. The first case is headed to trial this spring. But these cases can take years to be resolved. This is not a class action. Each school district files separately, but they are consolidated.
I will remind everyone that you, too, can register with @WashtenawDems and therefore gain access to a meeting where you can vote for who should get an #a2schoolboard endorsement this year: washtenawdems.org/about-us/membe… Tried to get people to do this two years ago. It’s essential!

This is the way to keep both families and teachers happy, at least at the elementary level, even if it won’t save the budget. Getting rid of Chromebooks could spur enrollment and it’s a non-monetary way to say we hear you teachers! #a2schoolboard #a2schools

#a2schoolboard: If there are no cuts, AAPS needs to borrow $35M. If there are cuts, AAPS still needs to borrow $10M. Without any borrowing, the district cannot pay all of its employees in June. It cannot make payroll. This is bad Demetriou: "I cannot be anymore blunt"
closing with this photo. fred klein, the union president, urged the #a2schoolboard to put teacher raises into the budget before schoology, dreambox, lexia. apparently teachers don’t like the continued overreliance on tech any more than parents do
Will getting rid of Chromebooks help the general fund, honestly? I loathe them, but my impression was we used the tech bond to buy Chromebooks? Does the salaries of the tech department to service these pieces of junk get paid from that tech fund or general? #a2schoolboard
#a2schoolboard Trustee Schmidt being a NIMBY, saying the housing the city is building isn’t “starter homes” so won’t help enrollment. Not understanding students are taking up single family “starter homes” now to rent.
#a2schoolboard meeting: A parent asks that to save money, please eliminate all Chromebooks and apps. Huge applause from teachers and parents. It won't save the budget, but it clearly shows how people really feel about the headlong rush into digital public schools.
So-called parenting experts: Your kids will totally respect and admire that even parents struggle with learning new things. My son:
Pro parenting tip: 1) gather and clean toys your kids haven’t touched in years to resell 2) mistakenly leave toys out and visible to nosy children 3) watch them suddenly play with the old toys 4) be called the worst mom ever for even thinking of getting rid of them!
“Roza cited one example in Ann Arbor Public Schools, where the union contract states that the last several digits of a teacher’s Social Security number would be the tiebreaker for layoffs after considering years of experience with the district.” WTF. k12dive.com/news/teacher-l…

I think about this a lot. 🫤
I really believe more schools would have reopened in fall 2020 -- just like in Europe -- if it hadn't been a presidential election year.
@dutchbikemom Shout out to that little school-bus drop-off sign holding a whole car back from hitting the playground.
And that sign is my hero and I want all the bollards put up by #a2council to be made just like that sign.
See that grass? That's where my kid plays soccer at recess. This happened at night, but Monroe showed us, it happens during the day, too. This is why I participate in #saferoutestoschool and this is why I'm anxious for #a2council to implement more traffic calming in neighborhoods
On 4/26/24 at approximately 3:40am, officers responded to a report of a single vehicle crash at Lincoln Ave and Wells St. When officers arrived, the vehicle was vertical in the air and four adult females were outside. 1/
If #a2schools is interested in retaining the law firm, the firm will not charge AAPS anything, but they will take a portion of the money collected in a settlement or winning case. Important, the money (if AAPS joins and wins) can not go to help the current budget crisis...
... It is to reimburse the district for damages they can show the social media companies caused them, such as needing more staff/counselors/security to deal with screen addicted kids. It can also be spent on things to help kids recover. But it can't be used to fix the budget.
@LenaKauffman Are they…saving a ton of the cost of benefits or something? This seems like a silly move to save a few pennies while eliminating subs that really know the school, classes, and kids pretty well.
It’s time to repost one of my favorite tweets ever
The most insidious form of climate denial is no longer, "It's not happening," but the belief that incremental or tech solutions will solve this crisis. 1/6
Teachers are screaming it's the phones, it's the iPads, it's the laptops. Let teachers pull all of this from their classroom. Please!
Also, for the record, the difficulty that parents have saving for retirement while raising the children necessary for anyone's retirement savings to have value is one of the reasons the modern economy is structurally incoherent/unsustainable.
@stephmurrayyyy I'm not even 55 yet and have been able to save enough that if I never worked another day in my life I'd be fine. How many of you with kids can say that???
part of being committed to criminal justice reform is supporting it for even the least sympathetic cases (like this yahoo)
@tabbPlomaritas As a parent of teens, it is a very hard thing to limit because peer influence starts to eclipse you as a parent influence the older they get. The ubiquity of social media means that not being on it has real consequences for a teen's ability to make friends. Sad but true.
@LenaKauffman so what I'm hearing is that because too many parents have caved, the remaining parents must cave in order for their kids to make friends? That's what I should anticipate in the coming years as my kiddo reaches full-teen years? That's hella bleak.
@tabbPlomaritas I do know some parents who fought the trend and wouldn't let their kids get a phone until at least high school. One can do it. It's just hard, and parents who can do this have, in my experience at least, resources in time and money to allow their kids other ways to be popular.
This just makes me so mad. Parents are trying to limit screen time at home and then the kids go to school and get punished for not having spent enough time on a screen. 😡
@LenaKauffman @mcramer0402 My child lost recess recently for not putting in enough Lexia minutes or progress or whatever (..she's reading well above grade level, she's fine in reading) and for not charging her chromebook. I don't want to hear shit about IT related addiction from AAPS.
Schools built classrooms and hired teachers to educate bumper crops of babies born in 2000s, and now there are too few kids. Kids born in the first cohort of declining births are now in 10th grade. This is the enrollment cliff that colleges are going to confront soon.
@mcramer0402 I really think cutting 1 to 1 tech could even help with enrollment. Some private/charter schools now make NOT having 1 to 1 a selling point.
@LenaKauffman I teach 5th grade, the Chromebooks have become an addiction. Need to rethink this 1 to 1 in elementary as well
I'm super excited that #a2schoolboard and #a2schools are looking at reducing money spent on software vendors. Some vendors have already waived their fees for a year so the software. A lot of parents have expressed frustration with the over reliance on ed tech.
