School Openings in AZ - Chaos expected!

You may have read about Queen Creek opening to in person instruction on Monday. So far, 7 of the 11 science teachers at QCHS resigned this week. It's crazy! Who will teach the kids? The first article below talks about a substitute shortage. The QC area leans Libertarian so I guess it's no surprise. Combs is also opening as are multiply campuses of American Leadership Academy.

Here's the QC specific article.

if enough of the students die, the teacher shortage will be ameliorated.

QC is in Maricopa County. Combs, the district next to QC is in Pinal. Maricopa has a mask mandate, Pinal doesn't.

Ducey left it up to districts - anything to avoid responsibility.
