important update



gcisd parents speaking about getting back into classrooms

Goal Shifting

Mother reminds school board of district's broken promises and continuous goal shifting concerning letting parents come back to volunteer in classrooms again. She points out that there are only 69 active COVID cases in a district with 14,687 people. That's .47% positivity. (11.15.21)

Hypocrisy

Mother points out the hypocrisy of the GCISD administration concerning the district's failed COVID policies and procedures. Nurse Amy Taldo (Director of Health Services) leads this effort. With numbers less than 1% positive, parents are still not allowed in the classrooms, but after-school social programs and crowded sporting events thrive. (10.25.21)

Less than 1%.

Where do the district's rights end and the parent's rights begin?

That's the issue we're fighting about--parent rights. How many rights will you give away?

covid numbers in gcisd

Using the district's reporting numbers, we see this:


--2 active student cases

--4 active staff cases


Combining those numbers and dividing by the total number of people gets us to .04% positivity.


How does this justify keeping parents out of classrooms?
