BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The Alabama Education Association is calling on Governor Kay Ivey to delay the opening of schools for the fall.

AEA Representative for District 28, Tracee Binion, told Josh Gauntt they want to see a delay because AEA leaders say there are not enough funds or resources to open schools safely right now.


Get ready, boys, not many schools across the country will be opening for in school classes.

These idiots gonna try to ride this out as long as possible. They’ve already had a 6 month vacation, now they want to extend it. I guarantee if you told him he’d only get 50% of his salary they would find a way.

Of course they want the opening delayed even though everyone else has been back to work for two months now

What is the issue? In my neighborhood in AL kids are playing in groups with each other all day every day. No masks, no social distancing. This is a non-issue for kids. Teachers need to do their jobs and get back to the classroom. If they don't want to do that, find a new job.

Clock is ticking, LFT. Jump on board. Your governor will support you.

If that happens then teachers better not be paid.

If you're too scared to go do your job then go find another job.

I'd be fine opening schools if the schools took as many precautions as possible. Our district is set to open August 13th and they are doing very little to try and limit spread.

Ivey doesn't have to agree. I'm sure she will thwart this Lib agenda and stand her ground.

Europe has already been back to school. I love how no one talks about this.

I will adjust, but I need some tax money back. If I am supplementing at home and not getting the services I pay a ton for, then I need cash back.

Louisiana is going back. Our district is delaying 2 weeks for added training on the virtual learning, but elementary will be back in class 5 days a week.

My 2nd grader is very excited.

They all seem to be ignoring the fact that most parents cannot afford to stay home with their children indefinitely.
