Under the leadership of Mayor Mayor Marty Walsh and Superintendent @BCassellius, the #BPSBudget22 will include a $36M increase for BostonPublicSchools. All of the new investments will go directly to the school budgets or in school services.

BostonPublicSchools does not get enough praise for its excellent Chromebook distribution and replacement program. Any BPS student who needs a Chromebook, gets a Chromebook.

When Black students have 1 Black teacher by grade 3, they're 13% more likely to enroll in college. With 2 Black teachers, that jumps to 32%. For Black boys from low-income households, their on-time graduation rate soars by 40% if they had a Black educator -Gershenson et al., 2018

Let's not ignore the mountain of evidence and data highlighting BPS' longtime racially disparate outcomes. Let's not ignore the continued fierce opposition to the temporary exam school policy enacted to redress just a small fraction of those long-term inequities.

Let's not forget how the combination of power, influence, and authority has determined who makes decisions in this city and who is informed of decisions. Let's not forget the historical trends of access and opportunity in this city.

Let's also not forget the death threats and racially-inflammatory messages both of these women have been receiving. Let's hold everyone accountable. #EndRant
