California Principal Says Note About Schools’ Status for Fall Was in Error
A San Francisco middle-school principal said she made an error in composing a newsletter that included a quote from the city’s school superintendent advising parents that schools wouldn’t be fully reopened by the fall.
“After going back through my notes, and following up with folks, I realized my error,” Aptos Middle School Principal Stacey Wyatt told The San Francisco Chronicle in an email. “I failed to separate my spring and fall updates and used Dr. [Vince] Matthews’s quote about spring semester [for the] fall.”
School district officials told the Chronicle that Matthews “absolutely” didn’t say that. Matthews had previously said that schools wouldn’t reopen in the spring but hadn’t said the same about the fall.
Decreasing the Distance member Viviane Safrin helped organize Thursday s event. Safrin is also a parent to two SFUSD elementary school students. They (students) spend so much time in isolation or at home without their peers, so there s a quality of invisibleness to their experience, Safrin said. We see how much they re suffering in this endless distancing learning.
As part of the demonstration, the students all sat down outside and simultaneously logged into their online distance learning classes. What was amazing was that it was quiet. We very much respect our teachers we appreciate and recognize how above and beyond they ve gone to keep the students engaged, Safrin said.
San Francisco Unified School District officials on Wednesday announced that six elementary schools within the district have been inspected by city health officials and are ready to reopen for in-person learning.
