We start school one week from tomorrow and the most common answer to our questions in meetings is "I don& #39;t know"
Teachers are drowning right now. We are reaching out for help, and our school boards are not listening.

Teachers are being completely left out of the back to school process
This is what I sent to each member of my school board:
A bunch of teachers spoke up at our meeting and mentioned that we donât feel ready to start in 1 week and our principal said he has no control over our start date, & that we should talk to our union (who told us to talk to the school board who told us to talk to our principals)
The schedule that was proposed for gym, music, art, and media has us:
1.traveling between schools (sometimes two in one day)
2.teaching one group of kids in person and streaming into another one (or two!!) with a para without any idea if weâll be able to see the other groups

3.Seeing the same group of kids for a week &then not seeing them for 2 weeks &then when we see the same group of kids again, weâll be with 1 of the groups that was live streaming before
4. We have 4 minutes between each class to set up for the next lesson AND sanitize the room.

I am concerned about being a super spreader in our schools.
I am concerned about my districtâs insistance that we start on time despite constant feedback from staff that we are not ready
I am concerned about teacher mental health.

Teachers are some of the most resilient people I know. Weâve endured all kinds of obstacles thrown in the way of doing what we love. Weâre problem solvers and the fact that weâre actually saying âwe donât think we can do this with what weâve been givenâ is BIG.
