KIM DAVIDSON HONORED BY EDUCATION MINNESOTA

kim-davidson

Kim Davidson, an elementary school teacher and union leader from Crookston, was named Education Minnesota’s 2021 Peterson-Schaubach Outstanding Leadership Award winner this month.

Davidson has been involved in the union throughout her 30-plus years in education, both in her time in Anoka-Hennepin and in Crookston. She has served in numerous leadership roles within her local unions, the Western North Intermediate Organization, and Education Minnesota.

“She has advocated, recruited, supported, and served in so many capacities that I can’t name them all. In addition, she helped to encourage the organizing of the ESP local in her district and got them to be active in our activities region-wide,” said Mark Swenson, a teacher in East Grand Forks who serves on the Western North IO Board with Davidson and nominated her for this award.

Davidson currently is the Crookston Education Association’s local president. She has been a member and chair of Education Minnesota’s Political Action Committee and participated in the union’s statewide research team on trauma-informed schools and restorative practices, which released a report in 2017.

“I truly believe that if the people who are working most directly with kids, if they aren’t being treated fairly, if their working conditions aren’t right, if they aren’t feeling like a professional, all of that falls back onto the kids,” Davidson said of her union advocacy work.

“She always goes above and beyond for her kids. She comes up with ideas and projects that I know the kids will always remember,” said Sarah Pester, a teacher in Crookston. “She knows her stuff when it comes to the union. She has an answer or can get you an answer on anything.”

The annual Peterson-Schaubach Outstanding Leadership Award is Education Minnesota’s highest honor. It is named for Judy Schaubach and the late Sandra Peterson, the union’s two leaders that oversaw the merger of the then-two educator unions, a first-in-the-nation effort.

President Biden asks to have intelligence agencies further investigate origins of COVID-19

shutterstock_1850466253-jpg

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden said he has asked the intelligence community to “redouble their efforts” to find the likely origins of COVID-19 and provide him with a report within 90 days. Biden said that questions continue to grow about whether the coronavirus was caused by an accident in a Chinese laboratory or if it developed from human contact from an infected animal. Biden said in a statement, “I have also asked that this effort include work by our national labs and other agencies of our government to augment the intelligence community’s efforts.” 

Biden said he’s asked for further inquiries that may be required, including specific questions for China. The President added that the U.S. intelligence community has “coalesced around two likely scenarios,” but “had not reached a definitive conclusion.” Most of the intelligence community lean toward the likelihood that the virus emerged from human contact with an infected animal, however others lean towards the possibility of a laboratory accident.  Said Biden: “The majority of the intelligence community members do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other. The United States will also keep working with like-minded partners around the world to press China to participate in a full, transparent, evidence-based international investigation and to provide access to all relevant data and evidence.”

Republicans senators questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, about the lab leak theory at a Senate appropriations committee hearing Wednesday. Fauci said he still believes the virus occurred naturally, but supported the idea that investigations should continue to determine what happened.
