You may espouse different perspectives, but there's a lot of truth in this teacher's opinion piece. From a children’s hospital teacher: This year is different, give the kids a break https://t.co/8pWHeiUYXD #COVID19

@MDCPS paid debt service on its 21st Century Bonds (Aa2/AA-) today - on time, in full, and as budgeted. The GOB program has $859.2 million outstanding across five series.

“It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to empty restaurants, but pack schools. I think that defies logic and, quite frankly, is a proposition that I am not ready to impose on... our community,” says Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
The #MDCPSReopening plan is comprehensive in nature and incorporates guidance from national, state & local experts. This plan hinges on conditions in the local community & whether or not @MiamiDadeCounty is in Phase 2 of reopening according to The Plan for Florida’s Recovery.
Thank you to our dedicated and knowledgeable workgroup for all of today's input and feedback. At
@MDCPS, we are doing all that we can to provide maximum yet realistic flexibility for parents, with the ability to pivot based on evolving #COVID19 conditions.
Despite current economic challenges, @MDCPS is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to teachers with an agreement that honors their work. Through the leadership of our School Board, we're providing a long-term solution that offers peace of mind during these uncertain times.
@MDCPS closed on a $28.1M refunding of its 2010B COPS, which will save *$4.6M* over 12 years ($3.7M NPV at 3.0%). Also eliminates the risk of reductions to federal BABs subsidies. Thank you to our team Sergio Masvidal with PFM Fin Advisors, Bob Gang @GT_Law, and @BankofAmerica
For those who wish for the distracting possibility of deflection, be assured that we can “walk and chew gum” at the same time; our nation’s righteous and heartbreaking indignation about #GeorgeFloyd is not exclusive of our legitimate concerns about #covid19. #wecare
During these uncertain economic times, I am pleased to announce that @MDCPS is the proud recipient of the long-awaited @GFOA Award for Best Practices in School Budgeting for the year ended June 30, 2018. This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting.
The @mdcps Financial Services team (@BudgetMDCPS, @MDCPS_Treasury, @MDCPS_Procure, @iAttend_MDCPS, Risk Management, Controller, Accts Payable, and Payroll) are still hard at working finishing 2019-20, and preparing for a challenging 2020-21 and beyond
We at @MDCPS prioritize the health and safety of our children and staff above all else. Therefore, schools will be closed through the end of this school year. Distance learning will continue. Information regarding graduation protocols for seniors will be announced soon. #covid19
Respectfully, the speed with which public education, out of sheer will to do right by kids, without change to regulatory weights, or financial inducements, shifted to distance learning models, should not go unnoticed. @GreatCitySchls@PublicSchoolSup@NABEorg@MDCPS@NSBAPublicEd
I hope everyone rested during this week of Spring recess. Monday, we will reconnect, and together, will navigate these unchartered waters as a community which, above all else, values its children and those who teach, lead, feed, and protect them. Thank you team @MDCPS! #covid19
