COVID cases are on the rise. The @US_FDA needs to keep parents in the loop about the process for approving COVID vaccines for children under 12.

Kids are back in school. Families need answers.

@NYCParks When will public pools be open to day camps that are supposed to be able to use them?

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@MarkLevineNYC What documentation is needed? What does “certification” mean if that is one of the options?

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@elizashapiro @brianmrosenthal @PekingMike @MTA Is there publicly available data showing the volume and results of random COVID testing in nyc schools September through November or is that something that should be FOILed?

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@nycpa @JumaaneWilliams Only opt-in period right before schools are closed with no announced plan for reopening. Prioritizing in-person learning for only ~30% of students at the expense of remote students being locked out for the year. Why are the needs of remote students being ignored?

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@michelleinbklyn How can you say this without headlining how much kids in remote learning are being ignored? He can only push in-person by keeping the 70% of kids in remote that way for the entire year - without planning and resources and “exacerbating already severe educational inequality.”

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@elizashapiro “Superiority of in-person learning” for only ~30% of students. Only opt-in period right before schools are closed with no announced plan for reopening and remote students now locked out for the year. Why are the needs of remote students being ignored?!

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@DOEChancellor “unparalleled value of in-person learning” for only ~30% of students. Only opt-in period right before you close schools with no announced plan for reopening and remote students now locked out for the year. Stop ignoring the needs of remote students!

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@bradlander @elizashapiro Yes! Only window to opt-in immediately before schools closing and prior to requiring consent for random testing is completely backwards and a disservice to kids currently in remote.

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@elizashapiro What percentage of kids are currently remote and can’t ever go back to in-person learning this year on this “plan”? Unexpected last chance to opt in to hybrid immediately before schools closed and now they are locked out for the year. Infuriating!

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@StephenLevin33 @MarkTreyger718 What percentage of kids are currently remote and can’t ever go back to in-person learning this year on this “plan”?

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@MarkLevineNYC So now that kids whose parents didn’t choose hybrid (in their unexpected only chance) are locked out, they can start fully reopening? Infuriating.

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@Bobby4Brooklyn Is it the right decision to lock out kids whose parents didn’t choose hybrid based on the ever-shifting information they were being given? These kids are being screwed.

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@bradlander @elizashapiro This is infuriating. Now that that they’ve locked out kids who didn’t choose hybrid, they can fully open schools??

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@michelleinbklyn @harrysiegel @elizashapiro So now that we’ve locked out those who didn’t choose hybrid, we can fully open schools!

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@elizashapiro Will there be an option for remote kids to opt-in? Or sticking with the only chance being immediately before the closure? @NYCMayor @DOEChancellor

[Jenn Lerner @jenn_lerner]

@michelleinbklyn @bradleyrsimpson @moshik_temkin @froomkin Really? What is their reasoning? I assume people like this exist, but I cannot figure out what they could be thinking?

You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,

@erinadam0 @DeborahJGlick @NYSA_Majority Excellent post, Erin. Thank you! @DeborahJGlick needs to hear from LGBTQ NYers about how she is letting her community down. @CarlHeastie, please know that @erinadam0 is representative of the NYers you are hurting by refusing to bring the #ChildParentSecurityAct to a vote.
