Rumor has it that 11/7 is the day, but SPOTTED…11/4 might be @Starbucks Red Cup Day! ❤️☕️

Why this is still not a predictable, Nov 1 national holiday, I don’t know! 🙄

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Personally and deeply inspired by the whole leadership book @dallasschools Dr. Michael Hinojosa and his team taught today. Responsibility. Data-based decision making. Seeking personal cabinet advice. Personal conviction, and more. #kidsfirstpoliticslater

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Congrats to @momentous’s fearless leader Jessica Gomez on being honored as #dfwunder40! A wonderful partner to work alongside for all kids! @DallasBizNews

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Congrats @MsBKB! Keep up the great work and y’all go get her book like yesterday! @DRC #leadershipdallas #dfwunder40

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Happening Now: @DallasBizNews’s 40 Under 40 Virtual Event! Honored to be a part of these dynamic leaders!

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

@martha_anne @tfadfw Thank you @martha_anne! It’s even more of a privilege to serve a team of extraordinary leaders like you.

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Last year, I vowed to help create a @tfadfw that was “way more just and way more equitable” than the one we have today. I didn’t just mean for Black people. I meant for ALL of us. To our AAPI family, I see you and stand beside you. It is okay to not be okay. #StopAsianHate

Our @teachforamerica collaborator the We Are All Human Foundation is calling for volunteers. If you or your company want to help, email [email protected].

If you spent the week thinking of and caring for others, it is okay to be tired. Mental and emotional distress is also just that—distress.

Reimagining education can actually begin in very small ways!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

“Young people should not miss out on their education because of something that is a normal part of life for half the population,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said. https://t.co/R0dOaFJQ0P

@MiguelForDallas We may just have a better chance with the poodle in charge! 🤣

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

My 6yo has been turning off every light in the house for days to “help our friends” and elected leaders are on vacay! Can’t wait for our kids to lead! #LeadershipMatters

[Joe Carreón @JoeCarreon]

It's here! 🚍 Go @MedranoMiddle !

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Our friends @family_place need help! Share broadly.

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Standing with you @tfadfw family in this (yet again) unprecedented moment. Stay strong and check in with others when you can! If you or your students need help, reach out to us and we will try to support in any way we can. Resources: https://t.co/w8nd3yXwqu

[Fort Worth Independent School District @FortWorthISD]

Fort Worth ISD has cancelled both in-person and virtual learning for teachers and students on Thursday and Friday, February 18-19, 2021 due to inclement weather conditions. Exempt employees scheduled to work, will continue to work remotely. All details at https://t.co/YHkX0qSVei.

A lesson for every leader in scenario/contingency planning. This is 3.5x worse than their “worst case scenario”!

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

This #TexasFreeze event is FAR outside what ERCOT planned for. Their 2020/2021 Winter Resource Adequacy Assessment estimated a worst case scenario "Extreme Pead Load/Extremee Generation Outages" scenario that included 13,953 MW of total thermal outages ⤵️

[Rea J. Foster @reajfoster]

Leading through unprecedented moments is simply what it means to lead in the 21st century. @ERCOT_ISO’s CEO cites “historic/unprecedented event” as the rationale for this TX energy crisis. Sorry buddy, unprecedented is actually normal now.

[Fort Worth Independent School District @FortWorthISD]

FWISD will close schools on Tuesday, Feb. 16 and Wednesday, Feb. 17, in response to continuing severe weather, the impact of rolling blackouts on our students and employees, as well as the tremendous demand being placed on our state’s energy resources. https://t.co/jozYOnfoh2

[Dallas ISD @dallasschools]

Due to widespread power outages throughout the area, Dallas ISD schools and offices will be closed Tuesday, Feb. 16 and Wednesday, Feb. 17, and will not be required to make up these days. (1/2)
