Well…bye! But you still owe every NYS school district the GEA money you stole from our kids. $20.3 million over here!

A delicious flight. Reviews to come!

While the Thanksgiving dinner has ended, we continue to enjoy. #Thankful for the wonderful visit to @Theoldfield this summer, and for the delicious bottle of Commodore Perry we have been enjoying with this special dinner.

Happy birthday @OfficialSting. Your music has been the soundtrack to my life, and I’m thankful for the influence.

[Robert K. DeStefano @RobKDeStefano]

Holding on to the last days of NY summer. Listening to 44/876 and enjoying Jamaican jerk chicken with yellow rice. @OfficialSting and @DiRealShaggy, link up anytime you’re in town!

Let’s rock! A great year ahead for our students, on the heels of a monumental lift by our district administration, educators and staff. Go Warriors!

The age of the vines, the terrior, our local climate is making #LongIsland increasingly interesting #wine country.

Retweeting to recognize Dr. Quinn from Comsewogue @comsewoguepride. She and our admin team have built a strong, safe educational plan in this perfectly imperfect situation.

THANK YOU to the School Superintendents of NY who from day 1 have been on the front line of COVID-19. Whether it was reopening, remote instruction, child care, summer school, food service, etc, you have made it happen. #ThankaSuperintendent #LeadersMatter @NYSchoolSupts @AASAHQ

How @BetsyDeVosED get this job???

And remember: what school looks like in September may be different in January, may be different in May.

@senatemajldr Great, @senatemajldr! So, what day is the $500B funding to states to aid effects of COVID-19 on your agenda? Because, regardless of political affiliation, fact is some states got hit harder than others. I’d like to tune in to observe as our legislature discusses and approves.

[Robert K. DeStefano @RobKDeStefano]

We will navigate this. Right now, we start planning how to continue the educational growth of our children in the mixed year of 2020-2021, so that come Sept 2021 (post-COVID, please) school year, each student is where they should be at that time.

Re-opening Board includes over 100 leaders across business, community and civic organizations. Zero participants from K-12 public #education. @NYGovCuomo I believe you forgot something...

Thank you for another good Winter @SamuelAdamsBeer. As I enjoy my last Cold Snap until the chilly weather returns, Cheers!

[Robert K. DeStefano @RobKDeStefano]

This. @MikeHynes5 gets it. For all the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has brought, it may be just the opportunity our children needed to gain a pivot to a 21st century education. Get on the bus and let’s make it happen!

[Robert K. DeStefano @RobKDeStefano]

When you’re right, you’re right. @NYGovCuomo pins the tail on the donkey (AKA @senatemajldr). Stop screwing around, Mitch. This is a national emergency and once again NY takes the brunt, then gets the “no thanks” treatment.

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

Let’s talk about fairness, Mitch.

NYS puts $116 billion more into the federal pot than we take out.

Kentucky TAKES $148 billion more from the federal pot than they put in.

But we don't deserve help now because the 15,000 people who died here were predominately democrats?

BREAKING: NYS ANTIBODY TESTS RESULTS IN

@senatemajldr With all due respect, @senatemajldr, I live on a 1/4 acre on Long Island, and my taxes are well over $10k. Far from the “wealthy” you describe. SALT may not have affected fellow citizens in KY, but here, the middle class feel the affects of your votes.

[Robert K. DeStefano @RobKDeStefano]

Stop picking on our kids, @NYGovCuomo. You already stole from them last recession (remember the Gap Elimination Act funds you “borrowed”?).https://t.co/liEf5BeLLt
