The battle to reopen. Schools struggling to meet guidelines. The vast differences in plans across the country. Im pretty sure im not going to make it. Some teachers fear their lives are at stake here and theyre now taking drastic measures. Charges filed. Two men facing multiple counts in a fourth of july weekend confrontation caught on camera. What the alleged victim is saying and how the suspects are defending themselves. And summer scorcher. Dangerous hot weather hitting the midwest to the northeast.

That science is on the side of the parents and students. Not the union. Safely open the school and keep a school open. Doesnt require that 100 of the participants be vaccinated to accomplish that. Examples throughout our country of schools that are able to reopen safely and do so while following mitigation strategies. Martha during the debates, President Biden said clearly i am the Democratic Party right now. Today the Wall Street Journal called on him to lead on this issue. Writing this in an oped. Perhaps you heard a few thousand times as the Biden Administration will listen to science. The science says schools can safely reopen. The white house is still listening, make that bowing, to the nonsciences who run the teachers union. How about the science of impact of Generational Learning Loss that were experiencing right now . We have yet to see the numbers. But my anticipation is that they will be difficult when we do. What about the emotional toll of being deprived of Human Interactio
For b. A. R. T. , and to go for fremont. Allison did not want to comment before the ceremony. The Oakland Council members that the city council was blindsided. The timing was completely wrong in terminating. You do not terminate anyone, or dismiss anyone without a cause. The reaction im getting on the phone, on emails, neighbors are upset with what we are doing. We no longer are city hall, but silly hall. And we have moved on. We are looking for a new form of leadership. We do wish chief Anne Kirkpatrick well. Reporter the panel lost confidence in Anne Kirkpatrick. And she was an outsider who was the citys First Female Police chief. She was fired without cause. The commission has been upset with her over the slow pace of reforms over an officer involved shooting. And might be better to look for someone internally who has not been touched by the challenges.
