I am seeing quite a few stories about school districts that are experiencing a significant loss of students compared to before the pandemic.

The immediate problem they face is a loss of state aid which is based on attendance numbers.

One of the major cyber schools around here is adding a lot of students this year.

My campus has eliminated the personal/philosophical exemption for employees and probably students. I'm still waiting for more a concrete announcement about student exemption options.

The religious exemption form is ridiculous. It requires no verification. The space to explain one's religious objection is tiny. We're about to have a lot of "vaccines use fetal cells in testing vaccines".

But, we're eliminating personal/philosophical exemptions, at least for staff.

I've got to get out of this state, before DeathSantis kills us all.

Republicans opposed to so-called “vaccine passports” have faced criticism, particularly as it relates to schools where current law already requires a bevy of vaccinations. Under current law, only parents who cite religious or health reasons can have their children exempted from the vaccination requirements.

Diaz said it may be time to “review” those mandates, in place for such illnesses as mumps and measles. But he said there was a difference between long-tested vaccines and the new COVID-19 vaccine.
Once upon a time, the vaccines for mumps and measles weren't considered "long-tested" either.

Moron. I'm (most recently) from Brooklyn, where we know what happens when everyone doesn't get their measles shot. Our last outbreak TWO YEARS ago cost the city over $6M. It isn't about the money in FL though, of course. It's about hurting people. Asshats.

The WHO COVID-19 dashboard states that 5,874,934,542 doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have benn administered. That's about three billion people. Three billion!

if the vaccines are "experimental", that's one heck of an experiment!

For details of the control group in this "experiment" one can visit www.sorryyantivaxxer.com or, for those in deeply Republican states, look inside the refrigerated trailers parked outside the local morgue.

Not that they shouldn't be prepared, but so far employers aren't seeing a huge mass exodus when push comes to shove.

We shall see.

Good plan! Have all the school board meetings during regular business hours and just randomly cancel or reschedule them all. If those fuckwits are having to take the day off from work and lose money every time, it won't take too many times before they quit coming. Have maybe one meeting in the evening that isn't cancelled and discuss minutia like the cafeteria menu and repainting the halls. Save the covid protocol decisions for a 10:00 am Tuesday meeting that gets rescheduled half a dozen times.

I work full time and am amazed how people have time and energy to focus on going to these meetings, protesting, hanging out on social media to hunt down what they're supposed to be outraged about, etc. My co-workers are pretty focused on work and then when they go home they're focused on family, property upkeep, etc., at least from what I can tell.

My impression is a lot of the people whining about these school board meetings don't have kids in the particular school district or don't have school-age kids at all. Like the Vail coffee guy. Outrage for outrage's sake, plus some endorphins and grift thrown in.

And this is in 2021. There's not going to be a 2525.

"I'm too tired" (poor baby)

"Next time" ( there is no next time)

They want to bitch and scream about nothing, but they won't show up for their daughters/sons activities. And then they lose their children -- sometimes the worst ending.

Arkansas Department of Education using federal coronavirus aid for kids' books from Huckabee-founded company
U.S. funds go to put virus guides in schools
by Rachel Herzog | September 19, 2021 at 3:59 a.m.

Arkansas is using federal coronavirus relief funds to buy children's books about the coronavirus for distribution to schools in the state that are produced by a company co-founded by former Gov. Mike Huckabee.

The Department of Education inked a $245,300 deal with the Florida-based business EverBright Media to distribute "The Kids Guide to Coronavirus" booklets to Arkansas schools in 2020.

The department plans to spend $265,448 in federal funds on updated versions of the books this year, according to a purchase order provided to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette by the department.

EverBright Media, whose associated children's educational material brands include The Kids Guide and Learn Our History, was founded by Huckabee in 2011, according to the Central Arkansas Library System's Encyclopedia of Arkansas.

The Daily Beast, a national news website, was the first to report on the state's deal with EverBright in a Thursday article that focused mainly on history books for children that the company has published that have been criticized as right-wing propaganda.
