Texas got $2.4B to safely reopen schools amid the coronavirus pandemic, but lack of available protective supplies persists, teachers say.
include a special education teacher who spent $100 of her own money to buy N95 masks to keep herself safe at work, as well as bus drivers and nurses who were not given protective equipment during the January Covid surge.
“Any staff member seeking PPE should obtain one at their school. This helps ensure PPE will be available for those who are in need.” “It makes everyone feel disrespected and uncared for. Like our lives don’t matter,” Tanguma told NBC. “All we have are three-ply masks, cloth masks and that’s it. Why don’t our nurses, bus drivers and custodial workers have N-95 masks?”
The McAllen district, where 72 percent of children qualify for free lunch, is also spending $12 million for a “Mariachi Center,” performance theater “black boxes,”and $2 million on an art and science museum. They are budgeted as part of Covid emergency funds given to schools in 2020.
