  1. MJ came relatively close to knocking off John Carter here in Wilco in 2018. @ 50 - 47. Her campaign then was great, but there was also Beto excitement.

     

     

     

     

  2. TEA has told districts they won't fund students who choose remote learning who have transferred in from private or homeschooling. This isn't a district rule.

    TEA has told districts they MUST accommodate students who want to come 5 days a week, effectively making schools create 3 separate tracks if they want to do a hybrid, which is very tough from a staffing/workload perspective and safe spacing.

    They are pretty mum on closure protocols for infections in a school. Not sure if they waiting for CDC/Health Department.

    The state has procured and allocated PPE to all districts. You can find that here: https://tea.texas.gov/sites/default/files/covid/covid19 20-21 PPE LEA Allotment_updated 6-18-20.xlsx

    It's not just teachers who will be quitting if forced to go back with rates like this and the uncertainty, but also support staff, admin, food service, etc, with institutional knowledge.

    There won't be subs so if your in-person teacher goes down, the class doesn't get taught. School becomes a babysitter.

    Morath talks to supers in an hour. We will see what is said after Tuesday's shitshow announcements.

  3. Now that The Eyes issue is out on the table it's going to become a "taking a knee" issue if they continue to play it after games. Many fans/players will refuse to sing it and those that do will look like assholes, especially white people. UNLESS, a result of conversations between CDC and the players results in them coming away ok with it and those players lead on it. But that is not likely.

    I do like the idea of singing Don't Stop Believing instead. And/or just Texas Fight, which is actually our "song'.

    County Sheriff is not considered a local election, so it would have been in November regardless.  Local elections include municipal, school board, esd, etc.

    OMG you are right. I was thinking it was May because the signs have been everywhere like the local elections but that was because of the primaries.

  5. Chody, the Wilco CC, and Judge Gravell have been crazy dysfunctional and it's escalated this year, esp re Live PD. This is like a thousand pound cherry on top of the dysfunction sundae.

    Just one recent story from a month ago: https://communityimpact.com/austin/georgetown/coronavirus/2020/05/05/williamson-county-commissioners-hire-law-firm-to-address-live-pd-controversy-move-could-mean-future-legal-action/

    I actually think Gleason, his opponent, has a decent chance. However, since they moved the local elections from May to Nov due to Covid, who knows.
