This district is made up of 29.5% white students this school year, but the parent representation is in this meeting is almost entirely white. This 29.5% has real needs from the district, but there can’t be truly representative parent input without the the other 70.5%. If the district wants equity, they need to bring in their voices.
It was hard to listen to all of the teachers call in and read the union talking points. It didn’t sound genuine. I have managed employees for over 25 years. It’s my experience that a person who is always talking about how hard they work is failing at their job,, or isn’t working hard at all.
As my mom used to say. “The proof is in the pudding.”
@SB—and why do you think that is? All parents can be involved n board meetings. Schools have community resource personnel to reach out to the other 71%. Apparently these parents have a other priorities, like working? Surviving?
@The Mamba you can’t say that 50% of the parents are male. There is a good portion of the student population that only has one parent and that parent is female. Or kids are living with other relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents)
So that is an incorrect statement.
How about us single fathers that are raising our children??? Pretty disrespectful to day that when children come from a broken home the provider is the mother.
What planet are the MDEA people living on? This is beyond satire!

I just got notice from Kaiser 3 days ago that I can make an appointment to get the vaccine. It might take several weeks for me to get in. I work in Sp. Ed. How is the district going to deal with teachers who are not vaccinated, working with students who cannot always control their bodily functions? These teachers are at risk if they are not vaccinated.
You have been eligible for weeks. You don’t have to wait for Kaiser, you can get on MyTurn and make an appointment at another site, including the FEMA ones like the Oakland Coliseum.
I work with teachers and at my site they are all working hard. Many extra hours and constantly trying to keep students engaged.
The district is late to the vaccine game. Scrambling to get an appointment is harder than buying concert tickets. Our custodians still don’t have appointments. The district roll out wasn’t announced in time to manage schedules.
It’s a pandemic. Let everyone get vaccinated.
Either way, be prepared for a completely different setting. No one within six feet. No recess. But at least the students can see each other in person.
Wish they’d wait till mid April.
I was able to make an appointment through the app for tomorrow. When I called they said they couldn’t make the appointment. Go on the app. It feels like people keep making excuses to not reopen our schools.
Amazing. Teachers get priority access to vaccines even if they aren’t working in person – unlike *every other profession.* But that’s not enough, kids need to wait (based on no evidence whatsoever) until every teacher has got around to making an appointment and received both doses. And even then MDEA will stall.
None of this is based on reason. (1) schools are not high risk for transmission even when virus prevalence is high in the community and teachers haven’t been vaccinated; (2) the first shot itself gives a high degree of protection within two weeks; (3) it is also completely possible now for staff to wear serious masks to protect themselves. Get a KN95, it’s like a dollar a mask! (4) @MadMom, 6ft distancing is not necessary in school classrooms, and research published in the CDC’s own journal shows that. There is no reason to torture kids further by denying them recess! Outdoor transmission is extremely unlikely, and there is no documented superspreading event outdoors, not one, from the whole course of the pandemic. The more they are outdoors the better. They are less likely to transmit playing outdoors without masks than being inside with them on.
@MadMom
The name fits … you sound mad. Read the CDC, WHO, and other agencies that have talked about the extremely low rate of transmission in schools.
Wait till April? They should have opened schools back in September, no more waiting!

Sounds like the teachers got the “talking points” memo from their union.
If the teachers don’t want to be vilified, they shouldn’t act villainous. Everyone agrees that distance learning is not working. But the school board and many teachers hide behind bureaucratic nonsense to prevent the schools from. reopening.
Do these people sound like the “real heroes” of society?

Start giving all the teachers pink slips if they are not ready to come back full time. These teachers are so selfish. What about the rest of the country that have been back to school for a while. Some in areas that are more economically and diverse that this district (Chicago schools, NYC schools). These teachers are absolutely pathetic. I hope they come back and take back pay and distribute it to the parents who have all been doing the real teaching.
Ask our students how they feel about their teachers? As you said, “proof is in the pudding!” My colleagues and I love all our students and they love their teachers! I know that we have established sincere connections with our kids and work with them and for them around the clock because we care!
We can’t wait to be back in class with our kids in a safe setting and a hybrid program that actually serves our kids!
The vile comments and hatred spewed on this cite is more than disturbing and completely inaccurate! What is wrong with some of you?
Don’t be too proud of yourself proudteacher. If you really are a teacher, what is really disturbing is that you do not know the difference between “cite” and “site’. Very pathetic, but not surprising after seeing the true colors of teachers in mdusd.
Rather than offering the usual empty platitudes, why don’t you address the question regarding private schools and other school districts being open? Why not address those in other states that opened in the Fall? Do you believe there were outbreaks in these places and it wasn’t reported?
Are you surprised that people are outraged? I think you need to get outside your information bubble a little bit.
MDEA is the inaccurate source around here. It has been amply demonstrated that school closures hurt kids a lot, no matter how dedicated or well-intentioned the teachers are. It is well-established that opening schools does not make transmission spike. That teachers are not at more risk than other in-person professions. That even one dose of the vaccine provides excellent protection. That respirator masks are widely available, unlike last spring.
There is no legitimate public health or safety reason for keeping kids out of school now. None.
@ProudTeacher I will mobilize any means necessary to protect my children. You and your colleagues are complicit in harming my children by putting your interests ahead of theirs. You have not stood up to your union leaders nor rallied your colleagues to prevent them from running your ship.

I believe calling these people “Teachers” is an oxymoron.
Shouldn’t they be the learned ones? The one that know how to solve, plan, organize and direct. All their labels seem to carry no credability. Yes, the Phd’s, the MBA’s and various graduate degrees. Can’t they all come together and produce a mind meld of solutions? I could have only dreamt that teachers would have come together to produce a viable solution for all.
We lay people respected your efforts, knowledge, discipline and expertise. Didn’t we think teachers ALWAYS had the answers and solutions?
Come to find out when the chips are down you are just like us. You are us. Letting the union bullys hold you hostage with that almighty paycheck. Letting a school board double talk for you for months on end. They’re the same as Oakleys. They just haven’t left their mike on yet.
No, your just one of us. Just a working stiff letting the attorney politicians keep you in the limelight instead of them. You had your chance to shine but it slipped right through your fingers. (And you thought you were woke)
But don’t worry.

One positive outcome of this pandemic is that it has really opened everyone’s eyes regarding the criminality of unions and the selfishness of teachers. Teachers could easily stand up for the students and themselves, but their silence speaks volumes about who they really are.

There is only one logical answer to this question. Defund public education! Give families a voucher and let them choose between public and private schools.
The alternative is to encourage economic segregation where the wealthy and middle class send their children to nice private schools and the poor are stuck with the 2 out of 10 rated schools in MDUSD. Frankly, teachers in this district should feel ashamed of their work product.

Many teachers are good teachers. Many teachers are forced to toe the line of Union dictate and also corrupt curriculum. Some of you may know California used to be #1 scholastically country wide. In the 70’s, we began to slip. Until we are now near the bottom, country wide.
Today, even private schools are adopting a dumbed down and corrupt version of education. Who is indoctrinating our best and brightest? Has our brain pool taken a nose dive into political correctness, over critical thinking?

Here’s another little snippet of perspective.
California is an outlier state in terms of school openings. We are more cautious than most of the nation – as in, other states where cases have also been falling rapidly since mid-January.
Within CA, the Bay Area is opening public schools more slowly than the rest of the state.
Within the East Bay Area, MDUSD stands out as slow to get an actual reopening date. Other districts have already reopened, and even hyper-cautious SF has their act together more than we do right now.
So this district and its wonderful union bargaining team (/sarc) are outliers among outliers among outliers. In the rest of the US public school kids are largely going to school or finally getting back to school. And what is the big picture with the virus, given that? Numbers continue to decline nationally, dramatically.
Just a suggestion to the union and its defenders: dragging your feet right now puts you in an ultra-extreme position relative to other public school districts. To say nothing of private schools and daycares!
The proper perspective right now is not “well, let’s make sure we take our time to get an MOU in due course and make sure all our teachers (that we’ve scared out of their wits) are comfortable before we do something radical like *set a date.*”
The proper perspective is: “this is a rolling disaster and has been since the fall. Schools should never have been closed this academic year, and every week they stay closed is another week’s damage on top of already-done damage to kids. Even at high prevalence with no vaccine, the cost-benefit ratio has been clear for months. Now we have low prevalence and teachers getting vaccinated. We are way way WAY past time to reopen, and anything short of emergency speed right now is a travesty.”
Do the MDEA reps and member sound like they have any inkling of that perspective?
Do MDEA members and defenders realize that the Biden relief bill includes a major child tax credit expansion? That on top of the $1400 checks per person (including kids), parents *will* be getting $250-300 per month per child for the second half of 2021, and that might very well be made permanent?
You’re killing people’s trust in the public school system, right at a time when parents are about to be handed free money *per child* every month? Want to make a bet on how that effects private school enrollment? Whether you want to or not, that’s the bet you’re making right now.

March 11, 2021 - 11:39 AM 11:39 AM
No school should be allowed (or forced) to reopen unless ALL teachers and staff have been protected by having received both of their COVID vaccinations!
When will MDEA and every single member commit to getting the vaccine? I hope each and every one of you are going in droves to get it.
Provide evidence that MDEA members are being vaccinated everyday and have your participation rate increase EVERYDAY.
Then, us parents/taxpayers can actually see PROOF that MDEA is “working hard” to get the kids back to school.
Then, we won’t be so pissed off about this absolute nonsense.
Stop saying ‘good things are happening with distance learning’, nothing good is happening right now for kids and their education.
You are not looking out for the best interest of us parents or our kids.
Show us your work and effort, and join this community to get these kids back to school.
Otherwise, it is just mindless union rhetoric and we will never support that. Kids education > union always.
Figure it out and do your job, so the kids do not have to suffer any longer.
I also hope MDUSD takes this opportunity to be transparent and truly lead us towards a better path than we have been on. The past drama between MDEA and MDUSD needs to put to bed for the greater good of the kids, and our community.
You have an army of parents ready to help, do the right thing.

Sure, white people just sit around all day, they don’t work, they don’t have to survive. How about personal responsibility for those families?
50% of parents are also male, so this board is way out whack representationally.
@The Mamba you can’t say that 50% of the parents are male. There is a good portion of the student population that only has one parent and that parent is female. Or kids are living with other relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents)
