Stevens asks about class suspensions and school-movement staffing
Stevens asks about class suspensions and staffing for moving youth to school. Administration witnesses say classes are not stopped facility-wide, though individual classes may be paused, and ACS has specialized uniform staff to escort youth to classrooms.
I just have a point of clarity.
So you guys, so it was, I know Councilman Joseph just asked about classes being suspended or canceled, and it's your understanding that that doesn't happen or that does happen?
It has not happened facility-wide.
So it happens on an individual basis?
It may happen that a particular class needs to be stopped for a particular time on a day, on a particular day.
How often is that happening?
Not that often.
Because I'm, again, in real time.
I'm getting texts from your staff saying that classes are often canceled or suspended and then packets are handed out on the hall to the young people.
So I was in a real time.
And they also wanted me to say that they don't have adequate staffing ratios with the movement of young people across to classes.
