@RachelAnneLevy@MaryLevy17 I am so very sorry. I don't think I've ever met anyone as generous w/ their knowledge, work & time. She never gave a thought to gatekeeping. Her spreadsheet creation, sharing & explanation was plentiful & helpful. She'd send you her work in a heartbeat. Truly a joy & inspiration.
Mary participated in the @dcpl oral history of Parents United for DC Public Schools, interviewed here in 2022. For 30 years, Parents United was an effective champion for DC Public School students, supported by the @WashLaw4CR.

I can't believe she's gone. She was kind, patient, smart, and had immaculate attention to detail. DC lost a giant, and the fight for fair DCPS school budgets won't be the same without her.

Unfortunately, many of the inequities we uncovered five years ago are ongoing. The new at-risk concentration weight has helped, but schools with high-need students still struggle.

Billions were allocated to schools, including to improve air quality — against viruses, allergens, fire smoke and high CO2.
Salespeople descended.
Many schools overpaid for inferior products.
Worse, many bought potentially harmful devices.

Many big corporations know the importance of healthy indoor air. JPMorgan Chase designed its Midtown Manhattan headquarters with MERV-13 filters, real-time air quality monitors and a high rate of outside air.
Why should our children have any less?
