In May, 35K+ staff & Ss contracted C-19, possibly gave it to family members, & missed as much as 150K days of schl collectively. The month before masks were made optional there were fewer than 4K cases. Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani & Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels, stop the needless spread reinstate the mandate.

NYC Mayor & Council trying to vote a budget out tomorrow with $200M cuts for schools - & more to come - despite loose Wall Street revenues & federal & state $ they could use to #FundOurSchools. Join us to #StopTheCuts! & contact reps: p2a.co/2P6E7SI @ny4rjps AQE New York (aqeny.bsky.social)

NYC DOE occupational & physical therapists and parents will be at Tweed Courthouse today to demand #ParityResourcesRespect for this upcoming UFT contract because Our working conditions are Our students’ learning conditions!

I know the weight of what your vote means on a budget. I know repercussions exist one way or another. And I know what it means to people when we refuse to accept the status quo. Thank you Tiffany Cabán Alexa Avilés 🌹 愛麗莎 @Kristin4Harlem @CMbarron Chi Ossé Sandy Nurse

We are not confident ‘oversight’ will give what y’all think it’s gonna give esp w a cop mayor &chancellor excited to put more police &scanners in school. U watching them do it& reporting on it a yr from now won’t stop us from being criminalized.

Cis people: I need you to understand (and help others understand) that “the trans debate” is NOT relevant “to only a small number of people” but to everyone. Thread below for why: (This is focused on cis women, but cis dudes I need you to listen too. You are also in danger.)

First they said they weren’t defunding schools, just responding appropriately to reduced enrollment. Now an uncovered internal memo reveals they’re quietly cutting funds per student, which they blame on teachers retiring. Don’t fall for the okey-doke: they’re defunding schools.

For 50 years every NY governor—Dem & Rep—has supported reproductive rights. That may soon change. Last night the GOP nominated a candidate who supported overturning Roe and has vowed to appoint an anti-abortion rights health commissioner. The stakes for Nov couldn't be higher.

I cannot explain how frustrating it is to see vaccine-only policy perpetuate the fallacious concept as masks as punishment and no masks as reward, rather than an essential tool to reduce transmission, when unmitigated spread is ensuring vaccines become as useless as possible

We should not tweak mayoral reform unless Governor Kathy Hochul agrees to sign the class size legislation. Both bills must be delivered, we can’t play these games with our children’s education.

No thank you. Governor Kathy Hochul sign the class size bill.

No amendments. #endmayoralcontrol #smallclasssize NOW

It’s 7:00. There’s still 5 hours left for New York City Council and Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani to save the day and reverse the devastating budget cuts to NYC Schools!

.Governor Kathy Hochul, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani's interests are not our children's interests. He's proven this time and again. You are risking relationships w/all of the parents in NYC who support small class sizes, which is the majority of us. Please sign the small class size bill NOW!

COVID positivity is spiking in NYC. The new variants are more contagious and more vaccine-resistant than any before. And Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani is eliminating every last public health protection. This is totally unacceptable. We must protect the health of our people. It’s our job. Period.

Tom Sheppard Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani NYC Public Schools James This is a disgrace and EVERY education reporter should be sharing the video of this so called mayor manhandling community organizers fighting for public school funding and calling teachers ‘clowns.’ Despicable.

How will the CDC rationalize their 5 day isolation recommendation now that the President has rebound COVID?🤔

This is what we need now, Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels/Dan Weisberg/Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani/Dr. Michelle Morse. What reasons could you have for not making our schools as safe as they can be and able to function as highly as is possible? Students/staff out w/C-19 will be on you if you don’t act!

Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels We asked for healing centered, restoration based schools w sports, art, mental & academic support & enrichment for all & U gave us segregated G&T, new scanners & more cops. Which pillar is this Chancellor?
