The city shut off the fountains as a step to check the spread of COVID-19 in schools though, and has reportedly failed to provide enough water jugs as an alternative, according to Bethany Rosera, a math teacher at Stuart-Hobson Middle School.
"We ran out of water [on Tuesday] and our admin drove twice to Costco to fill up their own car with water in the middle of the day so we could get through the end of the day and have some for [Wednesday] if a delivery didn't occur," Rosera announced.
The school "communicated with [D.C. Public Schools] about the situation but the water was still not replaced," Rosera said.

Rosera vented regarding the shortage on Twitter, and her thread grew viral.
"Y’all please don’t listen to anything @DCPSChancellor and @dcpublicschools says about safety when our school does not have adequate access to CLEAN DRINKING WATER ?? Instead, our school staff made midday runs to Costco because we were literally out of water," she announced on Twitter.

A truck transported water to the school Wednesday morning — a response that Rosera explained was due to the attention her tweet thread got.
"They have a continued pattern: they'll ignore issues/not provide what they need to … until the community learns about the problem and it sparks outrage with the parents," Rosera announced. "And then, only the ‘loudest' problems get solved immediately. There are schools with problems that aren't tweeted about that aren't acknowledged at all."
