Like this NYC school, cited as a model, TECCS ended its gifted program when it was not supporting equity for all and focuses on whole-class enrichment. NYC Education Dept. okays Brooklyn elementary school’s plan to scrap separate ‘Gifted’ courses https://t.co/WSkngsESZC

Parents: At 415 we are planning on systematically releasing any schools that have been on lock down.

Just provided a brief update to press as scene is still active but secure. 2 officers struck by gun fire. One of the officers tragically has given his life. 2 other officers receiving medical treatment at the jcmc for injuries unrelated. Please keep these officers in your prayers

[Hudson County Prosecutor's Office @HCPOProsecutor]

The #HCPO is confirming that one police officer has been fatally shot today in #JerseyCity. Two add'l officers & one civilian have also been struck by gunfire but they are stable. Avoid the entire area surrounding MLK Blvd & Bayview Ave. More info to follow.

[TECCSFSA @TECCSFSA]

From our principal: Police have advised that schools within a 5-mile radius of the incident remain in lockdown. Students are safe, and updates will be forthcoming.

[City of Jersey City @JerseyCity]

Mayor Fulop and Public Safety Director James Shea will hold a press conference at 3:30pm at Bergen and Grant Avenues.

[TECCSFSA @TECCSFSA]

CNN's live feed has updated info. Lockdown may be a bit longer. Kids are safe in school. https://t.co/aH9FQdsCFs

[TECCSFSA @TECCSFSA]

Please be aware that school is not dismissing due to police action in Jersey City. Everyone is safe at school. The impacted area is not adjacent to the school, but the school is following JCPD advice. See https://t.co/v2qZNrc0fy for further info.

[TECCSFSA @TECCSFSA]

More questions to ask to determine a healthy school: Does this school protect the most vulnerable? Does it have robust ELL and special education programs? Are students happy to go to school?

[TECCSFSA @TECCSFSA]

Test scores are in for every N.J. school. See how yours compares. *OR note, then ask: what are the growth rates for students? Does this school suspend children more or less than others? Does it have strong leadership? Does it protect arts and outdoor time? https://t.co/EUNYqd6nRX

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Enjoying helping others doesn't make it a selfish act. The joy is a byproduct, not the goal.

Help because you care. If it happens to elevate your mood, it doesn't make you less generous. It gives you energy to keep giving.

Careful commuting this morning. JFK Blvd has been closed since 5 am and traffic is crazy. Happy Friday!
