Dysfunctional Seattle School District Adds Another Community Organizer to its Crazy Train Board

Seattle School Board votes unanimously to appoint Erin Dury to represent Ballard, Magnolia and Queen Anne schools 

  “I am honored and grateful to serve District IV and the Seattle Public Schools,” Dury said after the vote Wednesday. “I recognize the privilege and position of power this appointment has and know that true service will be shown through action and centering community voice, particularly those who historically and currently do not have the access to have their voice heard. I know there’s a lot of work to do and reconstruction to happen. … I am ready to do the work and I am here in service.”

Dury works at Ampersand Community, a nonprofit that consults with community organizations to embed anti-racist practices into their operational structures and management. She’s also served as the executive director of Oregon CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Network, where she helped develop policies and establish private, government and nonprofit partners for the organization.
 

Denise Juneau, Seattle School Superintendent, Resigning Earlier than Planned

 “It makes sense for our students, families, teachers and staff to make this change in May,” said a statement from Juneau in the release. “I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished in the past few years and especially during this difficult year of so many adjustments due to the COVID pandemic.”

Seattle School Board president Chandra Hampson said the decision was “amiable” and “mutual.”

“There’s no juicy story,” said Hampson. “I wish Denise all the best.”

Talks around an earlier leadership transition began three weeks ago, according to Hampson. The earlier departure will allow Jones to have a more direct role in planning for summer school and fall, she said.

 

Utah Woman, 39, Dies 4 Days After 2nd Dose of COVID-19 Vaccine; Autopsy Ordered

 

  SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — During a KUTV investigation into COVID-19 vaccine side effects and where to report them, we found four reported deaths, filed by Utah families and their caregivers to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System.

One case stood out, a 39-year-old single mom from Ogden who died four days after her second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Her family, who is now waiting on an autopsy, held a celebration of life for her this past weekend.

Kassidi Kurill, by all accounts, was healthy, happy and “had more energy” than just about anyone else around her. Her family told 2News she had no known health problems or pre-existing conditions.

San Francisco Sues Its Own School District to Reopen Classes

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The city of San Francisco took a dramatic step Wednesday in its effort to get children back into public school classrooms, suing its own school district to try to force open the doors amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The lawsuit was the first of its kind in California and possibly the country, as school systems come under increasing pressure from parents and politicians to end virtual learning. Teachers unions in many large school districts, including San Francisco, say they won’t go back to classrooms until they are vaccinated.

Teachers Don’t Need Vaccines to Open Schools, CDC Chief Says

 Vaccinating teachers isn’t a prerequisite for the safe reopening of U.S. schools, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday.

“There is increasing data to suggest that schools can safely reopen,” she said, adding that “safe reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated in order to reopen safely.”

Walensky’s remarks at a briefing in Washington come as the Biden administration faces pressure to reopen schools, caught between its pledge to safely do so and demands from teachers’ unions about their working environments.

Covid-19 Pandemic Pushes More Parents to Go All-In for Home Schooling

 “The vast majority [of parents] are saying, ‘We’ve been really trying to do what the schools are asking us to do, but we just can’t do this anymore,’ ” said J. Allen Weston, executive director of the National Home School Association, which has been fielding inquiries on the topic.

 

 

Public-school advocates say they worry home schooling is isolating for children and lacks safeguards to ensure a basic education. Elizabeth Bartholet, a Harvard Law School professor specializing in civil rights, called for “a presumptive ban” on home schooling in virtually all circumstances last year in the Arizona Law Review. She said home schooling jeopardizes children’s rights to “learn things that are essential for employment and for exercising meaningful choices in their future lives.”

Vanderbilt University’s Joseph Murphy, who studies home schooling, said there is scant evidence of abuse or widespread negative outcomes.

‘Get Ready’ Plan Would Vaccinate Washington Teachers

Reykdal described the vaccine as a “safety net” and an additional safety protocol as schools begin to reopen. “We do not have to wait for vaccines … to open safely today if we follow the safety protocols, most specifically the face covering,” he said, adding that not everybody trusts the vaccine or can medically tolerate it, new variants might require people to receive a vaccine booster and that children will not be eligible for vaccines for many months. “It has no certainty of perfection.”

Do You Trust Them With Your Children's Future

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci says the Biden administration hopes to begin vaccinating younger children by late spring or early summer.

SANTA ANA (CBSLA) – A 60-year-old Orange County man died after receiving a second dose of the coronavirus vaccine. Now investigators are trying to determine if the vaccination played any role in his death.

Hours after getting his second Pfizer dose on January 5, Tim Zook was in the emergency room of the hospital where he worked.

“He just couldn’t breathe on his own, he had stomach problems, he just wasn’t feeling good,” said Kyle Zook, his son.

He fell into a coma within two days and passed away four days after getting the shot.

 Late-night freezer failure in Seattle sends hundreds scrambling to get a fast-expiring COVID-19 vaccine

After a freezer failed at a nearby medical center Thursday night, nurses, firefighters and volunteers scurried throughout the hospital in a mad-dash scramble to use as many doses of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine as possible before they expired

"On-site security and first responders were by his side within seconds, but sadly the man passed away a short time later at a hospital," New York State health Commissioner Howard Zucker said in a statement to Fox5NY.com.  

The incident occurred approximately 25 minutes after he was vaccinated, and following the required 15 minute observation period.  Heath officials say he exhibited no adverse reactions or any distress.  They added that initial indications are that the man did not have any allergic reaction to the vaccine.
