Los Angeles, San Diego Will Not Reopen Classrooms in Fall

MA teacher’s union has weighed in.

They want a 4 phase reopening starting with a month of no instruction so they have teiime to set up classrooms, learn about new health and safety protocols, prepare for students’ return and have professional development. The unions states that, “educators need time before students com in to learn new strategies of how to address trauma.”

Then phase 2 would all educators to meet the students an their families where they can explain the new health protocols, and engage in social emotional wellness checks, basic needs assessments, evaluation of technology needs and reconnecting with families and school communities.

Phase 3 begins instruction about a month after school begins which would be either remotely or in-person or a combination of the two.

Phase 4 is an assessment of public health.

It’s safe to say the Massachusetts teacher’s union has spoken. Does anyone really think K-12 school is opening up in states like MA, NY and other similar states?

I am in MA, and I am so frustrated right now. We have worked really hard to “flatten the curve” statewide and locally we are doing even better. Online learning was a total disaster for my 8th grader. A month of no instruction??? I am sure all of these teachers are going to be staying home too, no trips to Target or Home Depot or the beach, too dangerous!
