If teachers are essential to the economy, why is the funding not going towards making schools as safe as possible? Or paying teachers what they're worth? 🤷‍♂️

Hear from school districts that stood tall to help their communities cope with COVID-19, including @Coppellisd, @aldineisd, ForneyISD, Copperas Cove ISD, Angleton ISD, Greenville ISD, CCISD, Leander ISD, McAllen ISD, and more. bit.ly/2ZYo6Ab

There needs to be a special session to postpone School until October so districts can have time to hire additional custodial staff the deep clean disenfect all buildings, add Germ X stations, additional soap stations, and paper towels instead of air blowers.

Other than the medical community there is no other profession that is in a confined space with 15 or more persons for 45 minutes or more, 7-10 hours a day, with no way to social distance! Protect teachers we have families too. If you and TEA can work remotely why can't we?
