@thehill @ericadamsfornyc Newsflash @NYCMayor - they are not “your” schools - they belong to the entire school community of families, students, teachers, administrators and staff. What an arrogant statement - and shows how little you care about @NYCSchools.

When working Americans receive "surge raises" this will be a fair idea. #SitWhileYouWait

@PS191Q What a fantastic day! 😊We are truly blessed to work with such amazing teachers, staff, students, and families at PS 191!

"No one got injured" should not be the standard to which we judge if emergency response was effective or not. People were stranded. Communication was almost non-existent. Friday SUCKED. And so does your leadership.

“There was just one problem: No one directly told schools about the order in the first place.”

@UFT Mr. Mulgrew, it is time to condemn @NYCMayor

Our safety hangs in the balance.

Listening to the accounts of fellow NYC educators and parents about school conditions and commutes on Friday.

The only learning that happened was kids and staff learning @NYCMayor and @DOEChancellor don’t care about them.

It should have been a remote day.

Some of the things I heard about while talking with a bunch of teacher and parent friends this weekend about school on Friday.

*A principal in south Brooklyn who carried children out one at a time from a school bus that was in 2 feet of water.

@Mssarahmssarah @UFT I was just thinking the same thing - no mention of the lack of communication to staff - teachers - parents about the shelter in place? Why are we getting paid to set up remote learning and never using it? What is the criteria to pivot to remote for inclement weather?

[Elissa Reilly @ElissaReilly]

@NYCSchools This is quite tone deaf - consider all the danger you put teachers, staff, students and parents in by not calling a remote day yesterday. Our lives are more important than your meals.

[Elissa Reilly @ElissaReilly]

@UFT @NYCSchools How much worse does the weather have to get to be remote? The criteria should have been outlined in our new contract. Our staff and students were in danger today.

Thank you @SusanBEdelman and @deirdre_bardolf for caring about our schools! The AC situation is disgraceful. Many of us were afraid to talk on record. But, you got the story out there. Thank you! https://t.co/py76AfSoRp

@UFT When will we know about Teacher’s Choice? Not getting a good feeling…🙄@MOREcaucusUFT @ufcuft @UFT_Elementary

[Elissa Reilly @ElissaReilly]

@UFT What is going on with Teacher’s Choice? Why haven’t we heard an official amount yet?

[Rachel Rear, True Crime Author 🇺🇦 @RaeRear]

NYC teachers on their way to PD tomorrow.

(Make it remote!)

[Educators of NYC @educatorsofnyc]

All day to make this health and safety decision and this email at 2:54 PM was sent as most teachers were out the door @NYCSchools?

And still no firm answers

This ‘Hunger Games’ edu-policy is why so many are leaving this profession

When do people start to come first?

[Educators of NYC @educatorsofnyc]

🔥 Must read! 🔥

The United for Change coalition @ufcuft releases its BIG 5 contract demands, as rank & file make a bold and firm stand for a truly meaningful new @UFT contract.

Anything less means - we vote 'NO!'

@NMerrickWINGS @CampAvePride Thank you so much! He was so excited to be a part of it all!

@BravoWWHL @Meghan_Trainor I’m a teacher - no thanks. 🤨
