Posted on Facebook this morning—
Escambia County School District:
Please let Santa Rosa be a learning lesson.
Until the schools have power, water & internet, a way to eat a hot meal, safe passage on school buses, secured campuses, all the things needed to be safe & successful. . .
Do NOT open those schools.
Your families are hurting. Exhausted. Hungry. Dirty. Without clean clothes. Broke from repairs or buying supplies to make it. Hot. Haven’t eaten a proper meal since Thursday for a lot of us. We can’t charge phones or chromebooks.
Your teachers & staff- the very backbone of our school systems, are hurting, devastated & in the same situation.
Your school calendar is NOT more important than the human life that work or attend school in your district.
I wouldn’t DREAM of asking my children’s teachers & staff to come in, try to save face for our kids & teach a lesson plan, pour into them when communities are devastated by this hurricane & have nothing to pour at the moment.
This is disgusting behavior & the ball has been dropped. Be better. Do better. Our people deserve
There is NO WAY schools can open with the way Escambia County is tore/ messed up….Parents think about your family and make the best decisions for you, NO matter what is said!!!!!
