Mayoral control of NYC Public Schools extended for just 2 years, with new requirement to expand school construction by $2B to lower class sizes and new maintenance of effort mandate to prevent City from cutting school funding like it did the last couple of years.
The NYS Education Department report will be invaluable in decision-making as the expiration of mayoral control approaches. Looking forward to thoroughly digesting their findings as we take up the important matter of school governance in NYC once the state budget is enacted. cc: Senator Shelley Mayer

We see daily reminders of the devastating impacts of gun violence, yesterday's horrific Super Bowl parade shooting being no exception. Great work by Queens DA Katz to get a huge stash of dangerous, 3-D printed ghost guns off our streets in Fresh Meadows. queensda.org/father-and-son…
Asking Mayor Eric Adams about the capital plan to build more schools and reduce class sizes.
Pro tip: When asked what comes first: schools or jails?
The answer is always schools!
Attesting to the most basic facts about your background is a common sense way to protect election integrity. Check out this Times Union piece by Susan Lerner [email protected] on why NY needs to pass our bill w/ Gina Sillitti timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

With less than half of 3rd graders reaching proficiency on state reading tests, it’s clearly time to get back to basics to boost literacy in NY schools. Kudos to Governor Kathy Hochul for announcing new evidence-based approach to phonics vocab and reading comprehension #StateoftheState
