Incoming! A band of lake effect snow is building to the northwest, which will bring more heavy snow and potentially low visibility at times. Like this morning's snow, I don't expect much accumulation on the roads--temps are too warm. #INwx #OHwx

While Tuesday will be a dry day... storms are possible in the evening hours as they develop in Michigan and move SE. Note the timing graphic below. Widespread severe weather doesn't look likely, but gusty winds and heavy rain are the main threats. #INwx #OHwx

It’s Monday and another start to a week of school. Please remember to stop for the school buses and slow down in those school zones. The kiddos are depending on you!

New CDC study shows that #COVID19 vaccines continue to strongly protect against hospitalization. Vaccine effectiveness against mild or moderate infections may wane over time. Get vaccinated to protect from severe disease. bit.ly/3spSVf2

Take time to review your safety and security plans for before / after school and school board meetings. Violence is not okay.

Reminder to staff and students: If you are fully vaccinated you don’t need to quarantine if exposed. It is recommended you get tested and wear a mask until the negative test is received, but if you’re negative and remain asymptotic you won’t need to miss work or school.
You can schedule an appointment for the #COVID19 vaccine, but it isn't necessary. Most locations allow walk-ups. Visit ourshot.in.gov to find a location near you. The best vaccine to get is the one that is available to you.

Schools, this is a reminder as you review & update safety plans, make sure you include extracurriculars. Videos f/ Nationals Park show the chaos & lack of clarity. Continue to work with your public safety partners to develop & implement plans that extend to after school events.
Language warning. Just got this video from a friend inside Nationals Park. He said no one knew what to do or where to run when they heard shots. Video shows fans trying to exit through the right field gate and getting turned around by police. #Nationals

The efforts and impact made by schools surrounding SEL & behavioral programs & services must be celebrated and grown versus shunned and suppressed. The whole child means the WHOLE child. Politics should not define the whole. Kids. Kids First. Kids First Always.
