Today I worked through a required training on implicit racial bias. I believe this content is illegal in Florida and maybe other states.

As many probably know, public school attendance is down nationwide with many families choosing other options such as charter school, private/parochial school, or homeschool. My school made staff cuts at the end of last school year in anticipation for this year, but our numbers this year are even lower than that projection, so they are now making even more cuts.
I knew cuts and merges would be coming. Today I found out that I am absorbing another 6th grade math teacher’s classes, so I will go from 30 to 103 total students in five class periods.
While I’m relieved that I’m not being asked to change grade level, subject, or school, it’s unfortunate that my school and many around the country are not operating in a way that parents can trust to send their children. In the upcoming months and years, I’d like to see public schools like mine focus on pinpointing why parents who can swing it are choosing other educational arrangements for their children and then work to make changes to our program to better serve students and families.
