NEW: Sen. John Liu says to me in a statement that class size law extension will NOT be in the budget (but is being finalized)

“An extended timeframe for compliance with class-size limitations enacted in 2022 is being finalized and will be legislated apart from the state budget.”

The risks of tech for public education are real but blanket bans would be disastrous because we need AI, used in a smart and safe way, to help us overcome intractable obstacles to student success, most importantly what I call the "Catch-up Crisis."

Thank you @DOEChancellor and @NYCMayor for building on the success of #NYCReads and #NYCSolves by expanding these initiatives to more districts and more grade levels. Now the hard work of supporting implementation begins! https://t.co/v98nRUcT6I

Mayor Mamdani, Chancellor Samuels and City Council members are facing off with middle schoolers in a math competition to announce an expansion of NYC’s math and reading curriculum overhauls.
“This is a Knicks comeback,” said @voteshekar as his team is down 4-1.

Thanks to @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor, New York is investing in the next generation.

thank you @RepJahanaHayes for uplifting educators, celebrating their work, and calling for them to have more agency in shaping the future of their profession. #teacherappreciation #aweekisnotenough @Ed4Excellence

[Jahana Hayes @RepJahanaHayes]

Appreciating educators goes far beyond just a single week; it is reflected in our daily actions to support the profession.
During Teacher Appreciation Week, I introduced a resolution recognizing the contributions of educators, honoring their dedication to students, and emphasizing the importance of including teachers in decision-making.

NEW: My office analyzed NYC’s urban forest—more than 7 million trees across our streets, parks, and private land.

We found that neighborhoods with the least tree canopy tend to have the highest heat vulnerability, and also have the highest rates of childhood asthma.

Trees are essential infrastructure. They are about public health, flood prevention, economic development, and equity.

NYC’s goal is 30% canopy cover. Achieving it will require sustained planting, and also stronger maintenance, better protection of existing trees, and long-term funding.

Read our full report, "NYC’s Living Infrastructure: Funding and Managing NYC’s Urban Forest and Tree Canopy". Link below.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

I introduced a bill to repeal the federal school voucher program. America's public schools helped build the middle class, but universal school vouchers drain school funding and hurt students. Arizona is living it right now. Our kids and our country deserve better.
