I’m grateful for Virginia Family Therapy sharing this guide on talking about the UVA shooting with children.
School is cancelled and kids in the community will find out one way or another.
@k_scottbell and I are trying to figure out how to do this now.

New: Albemarle County Public Schools votes 4-3 to NOT match Charlottesville City Schools' starting pay for bus drivers. Charlottesville pays $21 an hour. Some board members want to wait for further recommendations. Some in the crowd are displeased with the vote.

“It will always be the responsibility and the privilege of Albemarle County Public Schools to maintain a safe and supportive school environment for all students, free from harassment, intimidation, and bullying and discrimination…”
The Albemarle County School Board said today that it “respectfully but vigorously” disagrees with a newly proposed state policy that would reduce protections for transgender and gender-expansive students. The statement is available on the ACPS website.

The Albemarle school board just voted and approved 10 days of COVID leave! WE DID IT!!!!!!!
We freaking did it. We called out something that was wrong and got it changed. The AEA is working for the district’s employees every single day. Join us and help this movement continue!

🐾 Happy Independence Day! Nothing says #freedom like people and their pets running for their lives at a #FourthOfJuly parade while bullets are being sprayed at them. This is insanity.. BAN THE GUNS!

I have a controversial opinion that really shouldn’t be controversial at all:
If cis-het teachers can talk about their families and post pictures of them, Queer teachers should be able to, too.

I typed and erased a tweet at least 15 times and this is the most professional thing I could tweet ——

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

Why are we stopping at daylight savings?! Ban 6am. Make it always Friday. Go nuts.

It’s unfortunate that children will miss more school, but I agree with the school board’s decision given the constraints imposed by the Governor.
Which is worse: being masked (but able to be in school) or being out of school for an additional week?
Should be an easy call, imo

Let’s send the Equality Act to President Biden’s desk.
We must increase protections for LGBTQ+ Americans across the country. The onslaught of state bills targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.
