Doing this in the borough that routinely experiences some of the worst manifestations of the urban heat island effect is wicked, and literally lethal

when they call tim walz “far left” they mean “provided school children with food”

[Assembly Member Karines Reyes, R.N. @KarinesReyes87]

Deeply disturbed by @GovKathyHochul’s recent remarks and the underlying perception that she has of Black & brown children from the BX.

Our children are bright, brilliant, extremely capable, and more than deserving of any opportunities that are extended to other kids.

Do better.

[Tom Sheppard @tomcsheppard]

@KarinesReyes87 @GovKathyHochul While I am also disturbed by @GovKathyHochul remarks, the REAL question is, “WHY?” WHY did she feel like we don’t know what the word computer is? WHY single us out, when the Bronx is 1 of 5 boros in NYC? And WHY has nobody addressed this inequity for over 20 yrs? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Rae @ragefighthouse]

I am deeply uninterested in opinions about teaching or schools if those opinions are coming from someone who is not a teacher in a school.

[Tom Sheppard @tomcsheppard]

@NYCMayor @DOEChancellor if you are going to run with “children can’t learn if they’re hungry” and then take away the foods they actually want to eat, what do you expect the outcomes to be when they’re hungry?

@tomcsheppard @GovKathyHochul @NYCSchools @NYSEDNews And why not wait until the LISTENING hearings are over? Disrespectful to the testimony of teachers, parents, students, and community members.

[Tom Sheppard @tomcsheppard]

Interesting how @GovKathyHochul proposed a 4-yr extension of Mayoral Control @NYCSchools before @NYSEDNews finished their hearings & reported back to Legislature. If she believes in it so much, why don’t they have it for Buffalo again? #EndMayoralControl

New "chief" at Tweed: Amid Mayor Adams' budget cuts to schools, Chancellor David Banks' deputy chancellor of leadership, Danika Rux, has named a "chief of school leadership development."
Danielle Giunta, District 26 superintendent, is promoted to the newly created position.
Giunta joins three "chiefs of school support" who each make $222,972 a year.

Department of Education is seeing its budget slashed by more than $500M with cuts to pre-K program & Summer school scaling back its middle school component dramatically. That will impact some 30,000 kids, officials added.

In response to Mayor Eric Adams’s budget cuts, libraries are cutting Sunday service 📚

[Lincoln Restler @LincolnRestler]

Today, due to Mayor’s latest draconian budget cuts - schools are forced to cut $1B midyear & thousands 3K & pre-k spots are gone.

Libraries end Sunday hours next month. Parks, CUNY, housing - all cut.

Revenue is up, reserves are steady, & Mayor keeps making deeply harmful cuts.

[Chalkbeat New York @ChalkbeatNY]

New: Eric Adams axes $547 million from NYC Education Department budget, more cuts on the way

[Tom Sheppard @tomcsheppard]

Volunteer? Wait. What? So cut our schools to the point of dysfunction & then ask us to VOLUNTEER to fill the gaps? And tell me, how are poor people with very little resources or time because they are working multiple jobs just to survive in this outrageously expensive city supposed to do that?

[Heather Dailey Protect NYC Special Education @KnittingmommaHD]

Isn’t this you @NYCMayor posing with one of our local Moms 4 Liberty chapter organizers. The moms behind all the book bans across our country.

[DL @daynuhleee]

@didactickatydid these parents complaining just can never see outside of their (usually privileged) experience and it’s unfortunate

[DL @daynuhleee]

@didactickatydid absolutely! plus if they wanna meet in person so badly, they can schedule an appt to come into the building during the school year at any point. virtual conferences are a game changer for my families not working the typical 9-5 and who speak other languages

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

“They shouldn’t have taken on student loans!”

Do people realize that this sentence effectively means they believe people from working class backgrounds shouldn’t have attended college?

It’s classism.
