Dismantling segregation is an every day action - excited to join a community conversation today to see how we can continue to move equity in #ROC

@PathStoneCorp

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

Panelists at Pathstone's event talk about what's currently happening to desegregate #ROC and where we could go next.

@NAEYC Patience!

NY's afterschool system is complex & complicated. Afterschool stakeholders can help the mitigate barriers to help increase afterschool access. @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins, please establish an afterschool taskforce in this state's budget to engage stakeholders.

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

#Afterschool programs help students’ socio-emotional growth. @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins Please dedicate 500K to statewide afterschool network to support technical assistance for afterschool.

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

Advantage & Empire State afterschool programs follow very similar objectives and benchmarks. @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins align and increase $$ to streamline NY’s #afterschool programs.

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

#Afterschool needs $219 million to ensure equitable access to high-quality programs. The current highest per student rate is woefully inadequate. @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins #EmpowerYouthSuccess by adopting the base of $4,300 per student.

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

@GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins, the per student rate for #afterschool is too low! Please raise the rate to $4,300 in statute toward the true cost of programming. #EmpowerYouthSuccess

Our current state of childcare is not okay.

We can be doing better.

Yup!!

Wish i could find something for my daughter that was available and accessible!

[Pete Nabozny @pedronaboz]

Its a pretty telling example of our child care shortage when the board chair of the local agency dedicated to helping families find child care can't find child care for her own child. https://t.co/qt2uNuLZUj

I'm getting my hair done and the "retro" playlist has randomly decided to play Butterfly by Crazy Town.

That's one song whose lyrics I wish weren't forever living rent free in my head.

Let me repeat that: in the absence of modern formula, A LOT OF BABIES DIED OF ILLNESS OR STARVATION DUE TO LACK OF SAFE OR ADEQUATE FOOD.

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

@jfmoule @leahstacy It's seriously the biggest barrier here in #ROC especially when it comes to daily recess on RCSD. It's why the coat/boot/snow pants drives are so important!

Technology too is a barrier but that's more universal overall.

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

@jfmoule @leahstacy Tagging our @healthikids playrocs project coordinator @BeatrizLeBron1 in on this convo!

[Jenn Beideman @JennBeideman]

@jfmoule @leahstacy (2/2) But there are significant barriers to this! Especially families having access to proper clothing, knowing what activities are available and of course cost of some of them.
