Newark's board of ed considered extending the superintendent's contract. That vote failed. Then in the dead of night a month later with no public notice, a board member changed her vote. The district says the whole thing is legit. We have questions. chalkbeat.org/newark/2025/10…

Over and over again Newark residents have demanded transparency and instead, decisions to extend León’s contract have consistently been made with little to no public input. chalkbeat.org/newark/2025/08…

In the dead of night, Newark’s school board seemingly extended Superintendent León’s contract — without an official motion or prior public notice. We sought clarity & the district spox shouted “I’m not authorized to talk about what just happened" chalkbeat.org/newark/2025/10…

@johnsb01 Sending you so many hugs today Brent. All of my texts with Matt include some variation of him asking: Was I kind enough? Did I tip enough at that meal? How can I help? Do you need anything? He was such a good and decent person.

Here's where this circus stands: CPS said ICE agents came to Hamline. We all, I'm sure, reached out to ICE. ICE told some (not us personally) that they didn't go to Hamline. Secret Service tells ABC *THEY* were at Hamline. CEO Martinez told MSNBC that agents ID'd as ICE. 🫠

Our updated story on ICE agents — per CPS — today at Hamline Elementary School on Chicago's SW Side. The incident heightened fears among local families. "I empathize with those children,” Chavez said through sobs. chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025/0…

Re: Rumors circulating about ICE agents at a Philly school this morning, those rumors are NOT TRUE. Per school principal and the school district.

A few days after Homeland Security cleared way for immigration authorities to make arrests at schools, agents showed up at Hamline Elem in Chicago's Back of the Yards, a mostly Latino immigrant community that had recently distributed know your rights cards hamlinehawks.org/ourpages/auto/…

My phone froze: CPS confirms ICE showed up the school; school staff turned them away, as they didn’t have a criminal judicial warrant.

@HangleyJr Not quite, the story says $24M annually — as in $24M every year. And to be fair, that's around what Hite was projecting in 2012 (though he said he expected closer to $28M annually) chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…

notable: the story mentions the savings from the last round of closures: "In the decade since, Hill says the district has saved $24 million." That's $2.4 million a year, out of an annual #phled budget in the billions. The technical term for that level of savings is "chicken feed"

Philly school district officials are haunted by the last school closure process in 2012-13. This time, they say, the community will be more involved. Some takeaways from the recent listening sessions: chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
