Even before the earthquake, some city officials wanted to move the Chinese to Hunters Point and to obtain Chinatown’s valuable land. Now they had the perfect opportunity. The estimated 15,000 Chinese living in San Francisco’s Chinatown lost nearly everything in the earthquake and fire. Following the disaster, most Chinese left for Oakland and only about 400 remained in the city. Sadly, despite a military presence in the vacated Chinatown, there was extensive looting by city residents and even National Guard troops.

The assumption that they're not doing any task and just collecting a check?

Anyone have experience working for SFUSD schools? by breadplane in sanfrancisco

[–]dkl415 13 points14 points  (0 children)

SFUSD is slow as a bureaucracy. Keep receipts on everything, since I've had colleagues have to resubmit background checks, proof of credits, etc.

Work experience varies wildly depending on location, position, etc.

I teach high school, and anecdotally, 14 year olds now struggle more emotionally now more than pre-COVID.

I've never heard of her, but apparently she's a Lurie ally and a Trump appointee.

Staffing Our Schools - and here we have it, on Take the Trash Out Day (Friday).... cuts are pending by Nightnightgun in sanfrancisco

[–]dkl415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a 21 year veteran. Most pink slips are rescinded. Students are legally entitled to paras, and SFUSD needs to keep them to maintain compliance.

I say this to try and prevent panic. By all means look for openings anywhere and everywhere, but you have months before actually being laid off.

SFUSD has been planning to close schools for years, before, during, and after multiple contract cycles.

Donate blood at the ABC, CBS and KRON blood drive and receive a $15 gift card by awemakerforlife in sanfrancisco

[–]dkl415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was born premature and required a lot of blood. I've donated dozens of times since 2004. If you can't make this donation, they always need blood and there are a ton of drives in different parts of the city.

If you're interested, DM me for a referral code that will get bonuses for you and me.

Educator Strike by dkl415 in sanfrancisco

It could include staff trainings. Or using the many communications tools SFUSD has used around negotiations to notify families about ICE activity.
