“I think cutting nurse availability is a pretty short-sighted idea that unnecessarily puts kids’ health at risk”

“Dear PoPville,

I just saw a note on my kid’s school listserve that the Health Committee is planning a vote that would reduce the required hours for an on site nurse from 40 hours to 20 hours. My experience with my two insane balls of energy is that I never know when they are going to need a school nurse’s help. I think cutting nurse availability is a pretty short-sighted idea that unnecessarily puts kids’ health at risk. Folks that want to register their concerns could take it up with CM Grosso and CM Todd — both of whom sit on the Health Committee. Thanks for getting the word out.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
