OK I can’t help but dip my pretty little head back into #muniland just for a minute for a Q: how are the tariffs impacting munis? The stuff I’m reading about mentions treasuries, just curious how the muni market reacted.

Success Academy charters -- most kids come from black/Hispanic lower-income families -- are #1 in math in NY, #3 in reading, beating affluent districts. Wow!

Our scholars have some wonderful ideas for improving the world we live in! For a much needed moment of joy, watch this video from @ABCNews and @dannynewtv! https://t.co/ZyBc3hDwjU

A million thank yous isn't enough for @brynnwhitfield, a real-life angel, who came to @SuccessCharters to celebrate National Chess Day with our students! This video is too adorable to miss:

We also work hard to address inequities in out-of-school learning opportunities by providing free tutoring, cocuricular clubs, teams, camps, and summer experiences, and give our kids purposeful homework that keeps them learning when they leave school.

Huge gaps by income on the SATs are a symptom of 18 yrs of educational inequality both in and out of school. At @SuccessCharters, we provide free SAT prep at our high schools and 13 years of very rigorous learning. https://t.co/HpKkqYNEJc

The times have sure changed in #muniland! 🤯

Chicago institutions are borrowing more than $1 billion this week, helped by Wall Street’s improved outlook on the city and a bright spot in a bleak year for the municipal bond market. https://t.co/NUkVZWWjJb via @markets

National Chess Day was this weekend! We celebrated at our 2nd internal chess tournament of the year w/ over 200 scholars in attendance. Chess is integral to our school design. Starting Chess early inspires scholars to fall in love with the art of critical thinking.

These @SuccessCharters kids are exceptional! @tvjessi's beautiful story about the student-led Mental Health Club and its impact at our Manhattan high school is a must-watch.

[CBS New York @CBSNewYork]

A student-led mental health club became a popular and powerful resource for teens at Success Academy, which is setting a new standard for campuses everywhere. @tvjessi hears from the students about how it's helped them. https://t.co/XhgfDRQbiK

The Brooklyn Bridge is one of our favorite locations to take our scholars for their fall project based learning unit. The unit ends with our scholars visiting the different types of bridges all across NYC that they’ve spent time learning about. #insidesuccess

The nation’s next superheroes won’t necessarily wear capes - they will excel at math. Math is so important at Success Academy because it helps our scholars develop the intellectual capital necessary for the innovations of the next century. https://t.co/6SC5050Hsd

[Eva Moskowitz @MoskowitzEva]

Well said, @angeladuckw! Children need adults in their lives who are equal parts supportive & demanding – holding them to high standards, pushing them to try harder, while simultaneously encouraging, understanding and loving them. https://t.co/HgC5CDK5jZ

"I think we have to take a step back and fundamentally rethink the service of education. We are not getting the basics right in America even though we spend more money on education than any country around the globe."

Students are falling behind as a result of chronic absenteeism. Educators & Ed leaders must lock arms & persistently work with parents to get our kids back in schools. Thank you @DLeonhardt for calling attention to the crisis of chronic absenteeism. https://t.co/jHDu5arlsD

Laws to reduce class sizes in public schools are popular with teachers' unions, but there's scant evidence that they work, writes @MikeBloomberg https://t.co/xA2cHlhPcD via @opinion

[Eva Moskowitz @MoskowitzEva]

In NYC, co-location is common for district AND charters, & research has found district schools benefit when co-located with charters. The “problems" with co-location are entirely made up by unions seeking ways to block public charter schools. @74million https://t.co/9BSXgblo9r
