We have one of the highest Covid rates in OC, and our <br />students and their parents deserve better. <br /> <br />As an Engage 360 Instructional Provider, I am appalled that this decision would be reached and <br />promoted without consulting the folks who will be on the frontline. <br /> <br />Daycare is the responsibility of the city, not the school district. You have failed your residents over <br />and over again. Defund the police and fund daycare for residents, youth, resources, and community <br />centers. Rather than increase Police spending by $9 million dollars, you should have funneled that <br />money to support its residents. <br /> <br />This is a huge step backwards for the district, and goes against everything that we have been <br />speaking about, and also makes us looks like hypocrites. <br /> <br />We were nationally praised for putting our students' and teachers' health first by keeping our schools <br />closed, so it's completely baffling that we would even consider this program. <br /> <br />I expect that folks working this program will be paid an additional $13 of hazard pay on top of their <br />regular salary. <br /> <br />This type of decision must be made with all parties invloved present and with an opportunity to <br />oppose, prior to promotion. I understand that we are living through unprecedented times and no one <br />knows exactly what our next steps will be, but we must make these difficult decisions while being <br />inclusive and considerate of all parties involved. <br /> <br />In Solidarity, <br /> <br />Erica Gonzalez <br />1 <br />
