Superintendent Simon asks for an extension to respond to FLDOE request that the district comply with rules
BY JENNIFER CABRERA
Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) Commissioner Richard Corcoran sent a letter to Alachua County Public Schools on September 23, requesting a written response by 5:00 p.m. on September 24 “documenting how your district is complying with that portion of the Department of Health’s Emergency Rules 64DER21-15, that continues to give parents or legal guardians the sole discretion to opt a student out from a mask or face covering mandate.”
Corcoran said that if the district does not document full compliance, he will recommend that the Department of Education withhold funds for the salaries of all members of the school board, “as well as other sanctions authorized by law.”
The letter advised the district of the new mask and quarantine rules from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) and provided the district with “one more opportunity to come into compliance with the requirements established by the Department of Health.”
In response, Superintendent Dr. Carlee Simon sent a letter on September 24 stating that “we continue to be concerned with the risk that the spread of COVID-19, particularly the highly contagious Delta variant, poses to the students and staff in Alachua County Public Schools.” Simon said they are “not yet in a position to safely lift the mask mandate that we currently have in place.” She also said that the mask mandate, which expires on October 19, was put in place by the school board, so the next opportunity for a vote on that would be the next meeting on October 5. She thus asked for an extension for a response until October 6.
Simon also said that the district would seek the input of local experts before changing any rules and that those experts would be asked to attend the October 5 meeting. She added, “The CDC recommends universal indoor masking by all students (age 2 and older), staff, teachers, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status.”
Simon said she continues to be concerned about “the potential loss of staff and students due to the reduction in COVID-19 mitigation strategies” and that she wanted more information about support that FLDOE had offered to the district: “We would like to know specifically what supports you are able to offer us as we will be unable to sustain our basic operations if we have staff resign over this issue. Furthermore, we are concerned about families that want a mask mandate and will remove their students from school prior to FTE week in October 2021.”
Simon said they continue to make use of the Hope Scholarship “as a parent opt-out,” but she didn’t address the current shortage of available seats in local private schools.
“Simon also said that the district would seek the input of local experts before changing any rules…” Most of the local experts unfortunately are corporate “whore” doctors who depend on grant money from the NIH and Fauci, or take their marching orders from local hospital corporate management and drug companies. Here’s the drill this gang of quacks reportedly pursues. First deny sick patients any treatment. Tell them to go home and come to the hospital if they get REALLY SICK. When they get to the hospital, give them Remdesiver which is toxic to the kidneys and was admitted to be kidney destroying during an Ebola study. Once the kidneys go, the body bloats with water and the lungs fill with water. Then comes the respirators and usually death. This is all very lucrative for hospital corporations, whose “whore” doctors get to keep their jobs by keeping their mouths shut. Well, cram this down your mouths a**holes, covid was stopped cold in India and Africa with Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Scandinavia has declared COVID to be over — just a bad flu outbreak. But our “whore” medical establishment in the US takes its ultimate marching orders from “whore” pharmaceutical companies which are cleaning up off this COVID psychosis. So you consult with your local “whore” experts Ms. Simon. They are bound to tell you exactly what you want to hear, which is anything that could justify your hatred of Governor DeSantis. What don’t you do everybody a favor and just disappear Ms.Simon? Go back to teaching industrial arts (in some other county).
A. Paco Liptz – What a pile of conspiracy crap you can spew!
is Carlee Simon an Angry Jew proud to lie to Goyim You?
🤑 The new FL Surgeon General will earn $1/2 million a year (about 1/2 from UF as faculty & the other 1/2 from State) The new FL SG State pay is 72% more than the previous (also) UF MD was paid!
I would never call any MD a “whore” but everyone is entitled to their opinion! (free speech)
Would like to see the state issue the same response McNealy said to prior superintendent regarding her finishing the school year…HELL NO!
Why? Because their SBAC staff attorney isn’t familiar with new laws? It’s not downloadable off LegalZoom?
watch out, there’s magic in the air, there-there-and-there
ACPS needs to put their money into better ventilation in their buildings, especially older schools and portable buildings that were meant for temporary classrooms. Mold, milder and bad circulation is a haven for viruses like Covid. I would often teach in the heat and humidity for ACPS with no AC! So perhaps in exchange for a top heavy administration in the district office and salaries for school board members, money should be going into better ventilation so kids could breathe clean filtered air.
