We care deeply about NYC schools communities’ mental health and overall well-being. We have compiled a list of helpful resources for DOE staff (https://t.co/alTruVMOpu) and families (https://t.co/dyvqu6Ors2) that will help you cope with current events.
The New York City Department of Education condemns police brutality and any brutal acts by those whose duty is to serve and protect our communities. New Yorkers and Americans—including our students—are crying out for change. We must hear them, respect them, and heed their calls.
To the families of our SWDs: we are here for you. I know students who receive intensive in-person services haven't had them for 11 weeks. We must & we will serve their needs as soon as possible + ensure health & safety at the same time. I look forward to working together.
That’s why we'll work closely with @NYCHealthy to discuss potential provision of in-person services, taking into consideration PPE, transportation, and more. We're carefully thinking this through in an evolving health landscape.
All of us @NYCSchools are still laser-focused on health & safety—especially for our students with disabilities. We are 100% committed to serving the individual needs of SWDs. We must make sure we can do so safely.
THREAD: The NYC Department of Education unequivocally condemns police brutality. My heart keeps breaking for yet another Black family that has lost a son, a father, a brother. I stand in solidarity with Black New Yorkers & Americans, and everyone mourning another senseless loss.
