@MayorBowser I will never vote for you again.

Authorities decided Union Station is off-limits to anyone under 16 in after school hours. Union Station is a transit hub kids need. @dcpublicschools @DCPSChancellor @MayorBowser FIX THIS NOW!

@dcpublicschools @DCPS_Community @WashBlade @StuartHobsonMS amazing Stuart-Hobson teachers showing Panther Pride and support for the LGBTQ community.

[Danielle Drissel @DrisselDanielle]

@charlesallen @CHCSPTA Thanks so much for working the concession stand @StuartHobsonMS and all your support to ensure funding for @dcpublicschools

I spent all day at a DC middle school engaging with 6th graders …. We had so much fun discussing “Slugg” and the similarities and differences between our city from when I was 12 and now

@penfaulkner thank you so much for your partnership

Come see @dcpublicschools theater at its best!

[Washington Teachers' Union, AFT Local #6 @WTUTeacher]

To start off Teacher Appreciation Week, instead of rewarding our hard-working @WTUTeacher's with a contract, unfortunately, @dcpublicschools and @MayorBowser team cancelled the negotiation session scheduled today & filed a PERB complaint against WTU claiming that WTU does not have the right to work with @councilofdc on trying to get a contract. Read our press release below 👇#showappreciationwithacontract, #redfored, #realsolutionsforkids

@MayorBowser @StuartHobsonMS pep rally pictured shows amazing teachers/staff bringing joy to our kids. @dcpublicschools noncompliance with Schools in First in Budgeting act means SHMS had to excess several of those adults. Please work with @ChmnMendelson @CMCharlesAllen to fix this.

[DC State Board of Ed @DCSBOE]

"DCFPI urges the Council to ensure that none of these schools lose staff in FY 2025, these cuts undermine education equity. The Mayor’s repeal of The Schools First in Budgeting Act backtracks on the progress DC has made to keep schools whole." Erika Roberson, DCFPI Policy Analyst

[Danielle Drissel @DrisselDanielle]

@WTUTeacher @ChmnMendelson @DCPSChancellor Thank you Chairman Mendelson for your leadership to stop the staffing cuts in DCPS.

[CapHillClusterSchoolPTA @CHCSPTA]

Keep @StuartHobsonMS a top school – we need the DC Council to restore funding for the Cluster Schools and all of DCPS #StopCuts2DCPS @CMCharlesAllen, @ChmnMendelson, @VinceGrayWard7, @CM_McDuffie, @CMCHenderson, @AnitaBondsDC, @CMRobertWhiteDC, @DMEforDC, @LewisDFerebee

[Kathy Zeisel @kathyzindc]

@CHCSPTA Watkins & Stuart Hobson are on the list of schools with growth that are losing teachers…we can’t expect to see continued gains when we cut frontline staff!

[Mary Levy @MaryLevy17]

Parents must testify about the DCPS budget and their own schools’ budgets April 4 without a meaningful chance to see them. FWIW what do we know already, apart from the fact that individual schools as a group have cut 948 jobs?

[Danielle Drissel @DrisselDanielle]

@MayorBowser The billionaire got $515M. Now please show equal commitment to fund DCPS schools. The draft budgets would force @dcpublicschools to cut 200 positions. Why?!

[Kathy Zeisel @kathyzindc]

School budget cuts are devastating this yr. In our schools, Stuart Hobson MS is going to lose SIX teachers, Watkins 2-3, Peabody 1-2. We aren’t setting up schools for success! We must fund all schools & stop staff cuts. @CHCSPTA @ChmnMendelson @CMCharlesAllen @VinceGrayWard7

[Danielle Drissel @DrisselDanielle]

@MayorBowser @MSE @CapitalOneArena @councilofdc @ChmnMendelson @DCPSChancellor @ChmnMendelson @dcpublicschools In addition to the $515M for a billionaire, please ensure your budget next week finds $ to ensure every DCPS school can maintain current staffing levels.

[Washington Teachers' Union, AFT Local #6 @WTUTeacher]

Stand with DC Teachers! Cheer on WTU's hardworking bargaining team as they enter the Negotiations Center (441 4th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001) on Tues. Dec. 12th from 4:15-5PM for our first in-person contract bargaining session with DCPS! #redfored #realsolutionsforkids

[DC Public Schools @dcpublicschools]

How does @StuartHobsonMS Principal Eric Fraser ensure that every student feels loved, challenged, and prepared to thrive? “We put systems in place to make sure that students have a day full of experiences that get them out of bed, and excited to be at school.” #ThankAPrincipal

[Danielle Drissel @DrisselDanielle]

@dcpublicschools @StuartHobsonMS Thank you Principal Fraser! You make Stuart-Hobson a joyful place to learn.
