Looks like the school system is overdue for a good dose of Clorox - from the New York Post:
‘Blood on their hands:’ Teachers say de Blasio and Carranza helped spread coronavirus
One after another, sick Brooklyn Technical High School teachers called union chapter leader Nate Bonheimer last week, to tell him they’d tested positive for COVID-19.
By Friday, five of them had shared the devastating news. But after being notified about each one, the city Department of Education still ordered the 6,000-student school’s 350 staffers to show up for work last week, saying the building had been cleaned.
“The DOE did not close the school for any of the cases,” said Bonheimer, who worries that inaction exposed others to the dreaded infection.
The city failed to follow a March 9 directive by the state Education Department that “requires an initial 24-hour closure, in order to begin an investigation to determine the contacts that the individual may have had within the school environment.”
People who are incompetent will generally appoint incompetent individuals for subsidiary positions. They do not want to be upstaged. Bad leadership begets bad leadership.
