@LuluStl @SLPS_INFO State legislature unfortunately

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@emilyjanehubb @MatiH_ID @CityofSTLDOH Absolutely! And host a clinic, if @SLPS_INFO will allow it!

@GConnolly314 The area's Greenways are largely funded by donations from developers too. Greenways are nice, but at whose expense? Conflicted indeed.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@GConnolly314 Alternatively, the city could bravely use the money to invest in the community and the schools instead of give it away.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@GConnolly314 Can't these OZ Investors use their savings to directly invest in the kids, schools, and communities surrounding their developments. They do call themselves investors....

@GConnolly314 Everyone wants to party at a parking garage cause that's how low St. Louis's standards are 🙄

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@GConnolly314 @NEXTSTL Does a developer have to apply or do anything to indicate that they are going to ask for tax abatement from SLU? Is it a completely back room process? Or does SLU just give abatements to everyone since it doesn't affect them directly?

Great to read, plus links provided for context. I'm holding my breath that the BOE is uniting on the City Wide Plan.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

Education reform groups are not about improving education or righting the wrongs of systemic educational inequity. The are focused on dismantling public schools and privatizing everything.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@GConnolly314 It was in the "Subtext" that it was student housing.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@emilyjanehubb Not just you!

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@theveryleftT @elizabethlgr Hope you all recover ok!

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@mattdavis96 @SarasChung I wish the collective efforts of parents, advocates, "education reformers" at every level could be on the same system of schools. The charters and their advocates aren't operating in the same system or by the same rules by design.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@GConnolly314 Wow, that will be a big change

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@SolidaritySLPS I'm an SLPS parent, btw.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@SolidaritySLPS Solidarity with SLPS is a non-profit that supports strengthening SLPS in the face of lobbyists and PACs interested in undermining the district in favor of charters. Many members of Solidarity are SLPS parents or educators.

As long as they don't surround it with an acre of parking lot.

Of 46 new Target stores listed as coming soon, only 8 of them are traditional large format stores. The other 38 are smaller format stores, from 12,000 to around 80,000 square feet. Here's one in North Quincy, MA that's part of a mixed use residential development.

[Jennifer Stine Elam (Jenn) @ElamStine]

@theveryleftT @emilyjanehubb Yes, I agree, a PTO is a privilege that every St. Louis family deserves to have. Perhaps that should be part of the city wide plan.
