In my 7-12 building, we have had 12 teachers get COVID-19. We have been face-to-face since August. That is roughly 1/3 of our teaching staff.

We have been face to face since August. We have about 500 on staff, split between about a dozen buildings. I know of roughly 20 teachers (there are others I don’t know personally) who have had Covid. Of those 20, each has traced exposure to outside the classroom. Church, a family birthday party, club sports, a spouse... etc.

This info is first hand from the teachers. So, while I don’t doubt it is happening, I cannot say I personally know of any staff catching Covid at school.

2 to at school exposure... but it was from other teachers at school and they didn’t wear masks when they had meetings or ate lunch. Funny thing is they are still acting the same way.

I’ve had COVID but I didn’t contract it from school.

It's my one year COVIDversary. I thought I'd die. I don't know where I got it

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Hey you, weary teacher, I see you.
I hear you sigh,
eyes closed,
Head in your hands...

I know the things you think,
the doubts,
fears,
the frustrated pain...

I know you are trying.
I know you work hard.
Sometimes it seems like you’re the only one
in the whole damn school who cares...

I know.
I see.
I hear.
I care.

You are the difference.
You are power.
Through you flows the future.
You author the stories of the world.

I care about the tale you are creating.
Please keep writing. Please.

In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.
