🚨 Specialized Dispositions

Labor Alert (LAUSD): Today is the final day for the SEIU Local 99 strike vote in Los Angeles. While no walkout has occurred today, the results of this vote will determine if support staff (bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers) strike later this month.
Health & Staffing: Scattered reports of “illness-related” virtual shifts continue in Middle Tennessee (Grundy and Cumberland counties), where high absenteeism has prompted some schools to use remote learning days to sanitize buildings.
Utility Issues: In the Mid-Atlantic (MD/PA), several isolated schools have reported water main breaks due to ground shifting from fluctuating temperatures; check local tickers (like WBAL or 6ABC) for specific single-building closures.
