Did You Know This The Washington state education department is ordering Seattle Public Schools to make up for excessive delays to in-person instruction and medical care for some disabled students during the pandemic.
Under one of two orders issued earlier this month, the school district must provide a year of after-school tutoring for students who were promised in-person instruction because of their disability but faced significant delays getting it — in one case, up to 21 weeks.
The state is currently reviewing the cases of kids to determine who may qualify. Another order requires the district to meet individually with families of 11 medically fragile students the district declined to compensate for nursing care, and discuss whether reimbursement is necessary. The Delta variant, also known as B. Roychoudhury said FDA-approved COVID vaccines provide the best available protection against the Delta variant, as well as all other variants detected since the beginning of the pandemic.
It makes me wonder. The meeting comes as the CDC looks into few cases of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscles, in young people and adolescents who received the shot. As many as Michigan residents considered fully vaccinated against COVID were later diagnosed with the virus, and three have died, state officials confirmed Monday.
The cases were reported between Jan. The lawsuit alleges the school district discriminated against the boy based on his disability and race, and was negligent in protecting him from harm among other claims. Seth Rosenberg, attorney for the mother, told The Washington Post in an interview Tuesday that the district knew about the tactics of former View Ridge Elementary School principal Ed Roos, but did nothing about it until a groundswell of parents started objecting.
A school board in Indiana this week voted to bar school resource officers SROs from carrying guns, the first such rule in the state. A Duval County teacher has been terminated from classroom instruction for refusing to remove a Black Lives Matter banner from the wall outside her classroom, violating Florida Gov.
Some families have come to prefer stand-alone virtual schools and districts are rushing to accommodate them — though questions about remote learning persist.
Rory Levin, a sixth-grader in Bloomington, Minn. He has a health condition that often makes him feel apprehensive around other students. Taking special-education classes did little to ease his anxiety. So when his district created a stand-alone digital-only program, Bloomington Online School , last year for the pandemic, Rory opted to try it. Now the year-old is enjoying school for the first time, said his mother, Lisa Levin.
He loves the live video classes and has made friends with other online students, she said. Parents in Loudoun County, Virginia called out their school district for assigning violent, vulgar, and sexually graphic material to 9th-grade students. I grab her by the neck and start punching her.
She wanted to be all big and bad trying to face me like a grown ass woman. Social media users have been sharing a post that makes several claims of serious negative health effects from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine, including that 6 people died during late-stage trials. These claims are partly false.
Six people did die during the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine trials, but only two of them were given the vaccine. The other four were given a safe placebo solution of salt and water. No causal relationship was established between the vaccine and the two deaths, which occurred in line with the normal death rate for the general population.
The first person to get the vaccine in the UK is not in critical condition. Precautions have also been added for allergic reactions. The study's administrators chose to include in its population a selection of at risk participants The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally.
History will judge the facts and if our most trusted organizations, doctors and software company founders have violated the Nuremberg Code. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week it had designated a coronavirus variant first seen in India as a "variant of interest," adding it to the growing collection of viral variants it's keeping an eye on.
On the surface, Vanden Bossche appears to perhaps be addressing credible concerns about Covid. In short, she was trying to micromanage staff which was not her job. DeWolf, who wasn't working on the policy in a formal way, got very angry over a notation in the Friday Memo saying that Al-ansi was working with him.
It then appears that Hampson and DeWolf were determined to express their anger by using their power against Scarlett and Hampson. At one point in the report, DeWolf calls it "annoyances" but his behavior says more than that, at least to the investigator. Scarlett may have been overburdened with work , both in and out of her department, and may have missed signals from Hampson and DeWolf of irritation.
Know what could have happened to ward this escalation off? A couple of vignettes. Keisha Scarlett and Manal Al-ansi. I will do a full post on what it said but, after reading it twice, I just shake my head at the whole situation. But if you would like to read it, here's a link. This is the report that the Board itself voted to accept at their last Board meeting.
Without having the report available to the public and voting to also excuse themselves from their own Board policy that says that any agenda item must have its documentation attached. Those two paragraphs alone, with a finding of HIB against two Board members AND the entire Board voting to pause their own policies AND withholding information that the public paid for and has a right to see, that should tell you ALL you need to know about the current state of the Seattle School Board.
I had opined at my last post on this subject - the Board meeting where this was voted on - that I think the Board should vote to remove Hampson as Board president. She is clearly unworthy of the role and, after reading the report, I think it possible that she has abused that role. Especially if you were a staffer of color? Hampson and DeWolf were found not to have acted in a racist fashion. If you are a long-time district watcher, you start to see patterns in how the district communicates its needs.
No matter who the superintendent is or the make-up of the Board, when it comes to levies, they say the same things with one voice. But I ask you: when you get your next property tax bill look carefully at it. About half is funding for these levies.
Do you think you are getting your money's worth for that kind of taxing? Has the district clearly and transparently explained where they are spending those dollars? February will see two renewal levies. Yes, they are not new but yes, they generally get larger every time. But there is one exception this time. The company canceled contracts with suppliers and shuttered the only other plant making the test, in Illinois, dismissing a workforce of 2, Approximately 1, first responders are part of the class action lawsuit.
The attorneys announced that they plan to file the lawsuit on Friday in order to try to stop the mandate which takes effect Monday, Aug. This one is on behalf of police officers, firefighters and other first responders.
Kaimi Pelekai of the Honolulu Fire Department. Pelekai says the City just sent county workers a letter saying they either have to get vaccinated or show proof of religious or medical exemption by Monday — or they could lose their job. KHON2 is asking the City about the letter. October 22, The Seattle Education Association is the voice for educators and our students, standing united to address the needs of our community and to transform our district into an anti-racist school system where every student thrives.
Via an SPS parent,. Last week, special education staff in about forty different schools were informed that special education positions would be cut due to lower-than-projected enrollment in special education programs. Their supervisors and administrators did not respond or they directed educators to contact Dr. There appears to be significant confusion within SPS administration about what is going on with special education staffing.
