How do you define DCPS school readiness?
What are the measurable criteria that DGS and DCPS need to meet for a school to be ready to welcome students and educators?
This week I'm touring 13 schools across all DC as part of our oversight work, and I want to hear what you think.

@EmpowerEdDC @BrianneKNadeau @brookepintodc @CMFrumin @Janeese4DC @ZacharyforWard5 @charlesallen @trayonwhite @AnitaBondsDC @chenderson @RobertWhite_DC fund flexible scheduling!

🚨This morning: a closing budget message from DC educators for the DC Council. Please watch. We’ve heard you promise to appreciate educators & tackle teacher turnover. We’ve heard #FlexibleScheduling is priority for you. Should we believe you? This budget is your answer. @ChmnMendelson

A beautiful day to celebrate the amazing work of our Georgetown resident fellow @IvettA_ED who has been an amazing support and organizer with @EmpowerEdDC this year. If you follow this account- the best content comes from her. We were lucky to have you and wish you the best!

@EJGoulet @councilofdc I’m an educator and I do. please share the testimony where principals state they are against a school safety coordinator.
English
DC principals do not support this bill & have testified in unison in favor of @councilofdc reversing its 1/3rd reduction to SROs when school begins in August. The school safety coordinators in this bill couldn't even be budgeted until Oct. 1st & would take many months to fill.

issues that a school safety coordinator would proactively plan for? @CMZParker5 and @BlackSwanAcad have a bill for that…

@nytimes correct you headline, this man was murdered. Placing a human being in a chokehold is “hostile and erratic.”
English
A 30-year-old man died on the subway on Monday after he was placed in a chokehold, the police said. Witnesses said the victim had been acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” toward passengers on the train when the other man, 24, moved to restrain him. nyti.ms/3nnP0RL

White says there are underlying issues that need to be addressed that don't involve having police officers in schools, but Pinto says she thinks schools need a mechanism to respond to violent incidents within schools.

We will not be able to solve the teacher retention crisis in our city without more flexibility. The council needs to fund flexible scheduling
EmpowerEd@EmpowerEdDC
COW budget report says "Retaining and recruiting high-quality educators is the number one factor in students’ academic recovery and achievement." AND YET it refuses to fund the well-researched strategies that would increase retention. We're confident CMs will fix this before the budget is final. @ChmnMendelson

@AliceMcNeill7 @EmpowerEdDC Or multiple separate hearings for the <checks notes> _seven_ different agencies being discussed today 😳

instead of insulting our educators, students, and the entire city, if @USRepGaryPalmer is so concerned about our schools, why doesnt he vote to give us money to fully fund them 💵 🤷🏽♀️
Adam Longo@adamlongoTV
Here's the exchange between @USRepGaryPalmer and @ChmnMendelson where the Congressman refers to DC's "crappy schools" as "inmate factories." @wusa9
English
@OpenlyBlackT @efcmitchell @MayorBowser instead of fully funding public schools and boosting funding and resources for tier 1 universal instruction, it makes much more sense to spend millions on tutoring 🙄

teacher here 👋🏽 thank you for listening and reimagining what real safety looks like in schools please support! @MatthewFrumin @charlesallen @CM_McDuffie @RobertWhite_DC

@pvelizgil and I wrote this piece about what REAL school safety would look like (hint: doesn’t include SROs) check it out and share
DC-CORE@DC_CORE
In order to improve school safety our schools need to be fully funded, have proper oversight, and smaller caseloads and class sizes. SROs are not the answer. If they are the answer, we are not asking the right questions. Read more in our statement: dccoreunion.org/post/dc-core-s…

full fund our schools, invest in real mental health supports and restorative justice, and give educators and students flexibility- this isn’t working and it’s not sustainable
EmpowerEd@EmpowerEdDC
🚨 Alarming new data from @OSSEDC, teacher turnover spikes in DC. 30 % left their schools from last yr to this. 22 % in DCPS & 38 % turnover at charters. 20 % left teaching in DC altogether. Schools cannot sustain this. We have the solutions. Thread ⬇️ @ChmnMendelson
