Putting Grandparents at risk due to increased daycare requirements, while protecting teachers is not an answer.

We adopted a plan in July, based on expert health advice, with specific community case thresholds determining certain formats of attendance. We now have abandoned that plan. Our local count exceeds the threshold for a hybrid return for highschool by 1.5x. We lack staffing to cover certain illness

I think if it were Obama, nothing would be said about it. I think just because it’s President Trump there is the hate that some have for him. Not this much controversy when all the other changes were done by other presidents. None of this is costing taxpayers as it has in the past.

Fred

Please provide an example of such an expansive change ... this ballroom is likely to turn out to be larger than the White House itself! I don't doubt we'll see a TRUMP sign on it before it is finished!

Max

Trump is improving the White House, and he is using private funding to do that.

Fred

Right ... "private funding" in exchange for pardons and other favors. The more accurate description is BRIBES.

Separation of the rich and poor is getting wider. I was never invited to watch a movie in the movie room just like I'll never be invited to any dances.....I think we'd be better off if they tore down the west wing

STOP THIS MANIAC!!!

Kelly Branstetter

It's history, it's respect and honor, the ballroom was never approved and the drawings show it overshadowing the White House itself. Awful

Missouri always has trouble with Vandy even when Vandy is not very good. Vandy is a playoff team.
