US schools prepare summer of learning to help kids catch up

Read full article: US schools prepare summer of learning to help kids catch up

Schools and camps across the county are making plans to help kids catch up academically this summer after a year or more of remote learning for many of them. Several governors, including in California, Kansas and Virginia, are pushing for more summer learning. Many cities, meanwhile, are talking about beefing up their summer school programs, including Los Angeles, Hartford, Connecticut and Atlanta โ€” the latter of which considered making summer school compulsory before settling for strongly recommending that kids who are struggling take part. The new $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package should help, as it allocates $122 billion in aid to K-12 public schools, including $30 billion specifically for summer school, after-school and other enrichment programs. The influx of money and increase in summer offerings has come as a relief to parents of kids who struggled with remote learning during the coronavirus pandemic.

President Joe Biden speaks during a meeting with labor leaders in the Oval Office of the White House, Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021, in Washington. Teachersโ€™ unions have said they support reopening schools once officials are able to make the buildings safer, but they need the $130 billion included in Biden's proposed American Rescue Plan to make it happen. โ€œAs the months have rolled by and the data have poured in, itโ€™s become clear that schools can open safely.โ€โ€œAn administration that puts facts and science first would be conducting a full-court press to open schools,โ€ McConnell said. And Dr. Anthony Fauci, the administration's top infectious disease expert, said it would be โ€œnon-workableโ€ for every teacher to get vaccinated before schools reopen. And with his 100-day goal for schools, Biden is taking responsibility for something that he cannot ultimately control.

Some believed it discredited teachers unions that have demanded vaccines before returning to in-person instruction. With the right mix of safety measures in places, teachers unions generally agree the vaccines aren't a condition for reopening. AdBut the plan has drawn fire from critics who say Biden is cowing to teachers unions who see him as an ally. Both of the nationโ€™s two major teachers unions endorsed Biden for president, including the National Education Association, whose 3 million members include first lady Jill Biden, who is a longtime community college professor. Gavin Newsom cited Walenskyโ€™s comment as evidence that itโ€™s safe to reopen schools before all teachers get vaccines.

President-elect Joe Biden introduced Miguel Cardona as his pick for education secretary on Wednesday, saying Connecticut's education chief and life-long champion of public schools is the right pick to lead the department as the nation struggles to educate students safely during the pandemic. The selection delivers on Bidenโ€™s promise to nominate someone with experience working in public education and would fulfill his goal of installing an education chief who stands in sharp contrast to President Donald Trump's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. In introducing Cardona, Biden noted his focus to broaden remote learning across communities in need and ensure schools in his state had appropriate safety gear. But despite their occasional conflict with him, a coalition of Connecticut education unions supported his candidacy as Biden's education secretary. Beyond the pandemic, Biden's education secretary will also be tasked with reversing an array of policies enacted by DeVos.

(AP Photo/Adrian Sainz)MISSION, Kan. โ€“ In July, fourth-grade teacher Susanne Michael was ecstatic as she celebrated the adoption of a former student from a troubled home and two of the girl's brothers. Harrisburg Elementary, where Michael taught, remained open after her death, but 14 counselors descended on the school the next morning to help distraught students and teachers. Early research suggested that children are unlikely to contract or spread the coronavirus โ€” an idea that influenced school reopenings in some communities. โ€œI think the key question is whether being at school puts teachers at increased risk of getting COVID.

Teachers could stay in classroom if exposed to COVID-19

Read full article: Teachers could stay in classroom if exposed to COVID-19

(AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)ATLANTA New guidance from the President Donald Trump's administration that declares teachers to be critical infrastructure workers could give the green light to exempting teachers from quarantine requirements after being exposed to COVID-19 and instead send them back into the classroom. South Carolina health officials also describe teachers as critical infrastructure workers, although it's unclear if any district there is asking teachers to return before 14 days. Among the first districts to name teachers as critical infrastructure workers was eastern Tennessees Greene County, where the school board gave the designation to teachers July 13. At least five other school districts in Tennessee have given the designation to their teachers, seeking to exempt them from quarantine orders. Floyd County said Thursday it would reverse its designation of teachers as critical infrastructure workers.

The nation's 10th largest school district plans an all-virtual start to the fall semester amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The American Federation of Teachers, which represents 1.7 million school employees, issued a resolution on Tuesday saying it will support any local chapter that decides to strike over reopening plans. Children need in-person instruction, she said, adding that remote instruction is no substitute for it. But she said teachers need to know they'll be kept safe. Many are quitting, retiring or writing their wills.Along with strikes, the union said it will fight unsafe reopening plans through lawsuits and labor grievances. The union's Florida chapter filed a lawsuit last week attempting to block the state's plan to reopen schools, which the suit called reckless and unsafe.

Cost of ensuring school safety complicates reopening plans

Read full article: Cost of ensuring school safety complicates reopening plans

School districts will need to find more buses to allow for more space between children and buy more computers for distance learning. The Council of Chief State School Officers says safely reopening public schools could cost between $158 billion and $245 billion, while the American Federation of Teachers put the figure at $116.5 billion. The school district in Columbus, Ohio, expects to bring back younger students in shifts while having high schoolers take all their classes online. Slaven said the federal government should send at least $200 billion to state education departments and school districts. That's in line with what the Council of Chief State School Officers has called for.

Even as the U.S. added some jobs in May, the number of people employed by federal, state and local governments dropped by 585,000. The overall job losses among public workers have reached more than 1.5 million since March, according to seasonally adjusted federal jobs data released Friday.

Biden, who has already pledged to pick a woman, has cast a wide net in his search. Biden was pressed to pick a black woman on Monday when he visited a black church in Wilmington, Delaware. Well, weve never seen a black woman selected as a vice presidential candidate, she said. Its important for him to see the candidate, talk to the candidate, get body language from the candidate.

Schools nationwide brace for cuts from new financial crisis

Read full article: Schools nationwide brace for cuts from new financial crisis

Its disheartening right now because I see it happening again.The financial crisis wrought by COVID-19 has left America's more than 13,000 school systems wrestling with the likelihood of big budget cuts. Advocates are pushing for more federal aid to schools as researchers warn budget woes could lead to massive teacher layoffs and less learning. If you dont have this, states are going to be doing huge budget cuts for schools, which would necessarily mean more layoffs and fewer services, Weingarten said. And a study last year found spending cuts during the recession were associated with lower academic achievement, especially in poorer districts. A quarter of expected learning was wiped in out in the hardest-hit districts, compared to districts where spending fell the least.
