@SnowFan21771@dcpublicschools In my neighborhood, kids cannot arrive before 8:10-8:45, depending on the school, with class time starting around 8:30 or later. The sun rises around 7 these days... an hour+ before. But it looks like you are in MD, maybe schools start earlier there. This is a DCPS thread
@SnowFan21771@dcpublicschools Many sidewalks are in bad shape, but the sun is not melting anything in two hours at these temps. My point remains it's no safer. Today I walked charter kid on time at 8 and daycare kid delayed at 10:30, and there was no difference in conditions
@DCDPW lots of unshoveled sidewalks (but cleared private walkways from front doors to street parking...) near Mundo Verde's 8th St NE campus, in the vicinity of 4000 10th St NE
@MayorBowser Why? It hasn’t snowed in a full week. And while the city’s cleanup has been subpar, there is no difference in conditions between 8 and 10 am. The delays are extremely disruptive. Parents need to work, and kids need to learn. Good re Tuesday I guess… but geez
Medicaid was signed into law 59 years ago and is the largest provider of U.S. healthcare, covering 80M+ people. https://t.co/24Zkpt0Xul highlights individuals helped by #Medicaid at critical moments, underscoring the program’s value in all 50 states. #MedicaidAt59
@MayorBowser the pay equity fund is critical for our wonderful early childhood educators and DC families. Childcare is necessary infrastructure for a thriving city but already too scarce and expensive. Our educators—largely Black and brown women—deserve fair wages & benefits
“There is no other group of women to whom we are saying, ‘There is a career path for you in early childhood, get your associates degree, go get your bachelors degree; but now we are telling you that you have to go back to accepting minimum wage.’”
The budget from @MayorBowser would be catastrophic for DC families.
It guts child care, early childhood educator pay, DCPS teachers, rent relief, legal aid, violence prevention, victim services, Baby Bonds, DC's Earned Income Tax Credit and SNAP food assistance.
Unconscionable.
@VABVOX Just stop. They DID tell the public in Jan she was having major surgery, would be out till after Easter without further updates & asked for privacy. “Many people” denied her that. The sexism is gross too. She hired her staff & is the boss; she is not a damsel in distress
@clhubes The phone lines are down, so the family can't get in touch with him. But he can call and order a cheese pizza for delivery...
And the delivery guy would 100% call the cops after thinking he was being shot at!
@BrianneKNadeau Except how many people who do pay their fines get $12k+ in tickets over a year or two? Who can afford that? People who don't pay have less (no?) incentive to even try to follow the rules of the road.
@MayorBowser@OUC_DC it is horrific that 10 dogs died but somehow lucky that no people died too. DC residents should not have to rely on LUCK in an emergency. It is your job to be prepared and this area has been flood-prone for decades. Your lack of accountability is appalling
By the time a third emergency call was made at 5:18, workers were telling dispatchers they were afraid for the life of one of their colleagues. Responders didn’t make contact until 5:35.
@DCDPR Hi, my son is registered for Saturday swim lessons from Dec 17-Feb 4. Will class be held on 12/24 and 12/31, or will those classes be rescheduled for February?
National election days are stark reminders of the injustice of the nearly 700,000 DC residents, who pay the same federal taxes as residents of states, having no voting representation in Congress and only limited, revocable local self-governing authority.
