@kystokes @netflix Because they have been giving for the same reason for years. You've been covering the district long enough to know what the end game is.

@kystokes @ChangeTheLAUSD @netflix This seems beyond disingenuous. I guess the former mayor of NYC Bloomberg gave millions to prior LAUSD school board races because he’s just an ed policy hobbyist?

@ChangeTheLAUSD @netflix How do you know why they’re giving to the Gonez and Melvoin re-elect IE?

Interesting (unusual?) sight in the #LAUSD campaign finance reports in BD4. Tracey Schroeder & Gentille Barkhordarian have reported raising zero $$ — so they look like longshots to oust incumbent @nickmelvoin. Still, an IE group dropped $170K in oppo ads against them last month

My uncle just called me. He said that he received an email from the GOP saying that “communist teachers are indoctrinating children with CRT and Marxist ideologies,” and they need $ to stop it. He asked me what “CRT” is and if this is really happening. I explained IT IS A LIE.

JUST IN: Pfizer seeks official FDA authorization of Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11

Why are we allowing Betsy DeVos' waiver applied to Title I to continue? We got rid of Trump/DeVos for a reason. Pls cancel this waiver & disallow #LAUSD's attempt to undercut federal money for equitable education w/this distortion of Title I funds @SecCardona cc @TonyThurmond

Backdoor voucher? Can a local school district #LAUSD remake Title I school-based funding by wrenching it out of original context so $ acts like a grant to an individual student? Smells fishy. @TonyThurmond @SecCardona pls take a look. medium.com/age-of-awarene…

So, where is the fancy data journalism dept @latimes & their #LAUSD #covid19 dashboard?? Letting parents & community do all the work? @howardblume latimes.com/california/sto…

So wrong. And it is a grift.

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. And they get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. If we can’t give students more movement, recess, and play time then we don’t understand education.

Citizens of the World charter school landgrabs of public school facilites at Shirley ES in LA is like segregation academies in Jim Crow hoarding of resources. CoW still owes LAUSD $1 million in unpaid fees & yet they take over Shirley's space? #CharterSchoolsArentPublicSchools

U.S. Office of Special Counsel: Lynne Patton, the former Trump appointee who served at HUD, has been disciplined for violating the Hatch Act. Patton admitted to violating the Act and has agreed to accept a 48-month debarment from federal employment and pay a $1,000 civil fine.

FLDOE says 27.7% of #Florida’s public school children are still distance learning from home. Schools after telling parents they have to send them to school to take the #FSA. PARENTS... NO. YOU. DON’T. THE OPT OUT FLORIDA NETWORK bit.ly/OptOutFSA

Breaking NYT: State prosecutors in Manhattan investigating Trump and the Trump Organization have subpoenaed the personal bank records of company CFO Allen Weisselberg and are questioning gifts he and his family received from Trump. nytimes.com/2021/03/31/nyr…

@palan57 @Forbes SB 48 is going to pass in Florida. No one thought it wouldn't. @FloridaGOP just don't care. Years from now, we may have an idea of the kids who lost out on their education because of this. @emceeleman nailed it here. fundeducationnow.org/fl-sb48-marie-…

🍊💩🤡 spent more time installing a Diet Coke button on his desk than figuring out how to ship enough #covid19 vaccines to the states. 🤬 #400kTrumpPandemicDead

Direct cash payments. Extended unemployment. Rent relief. Food assistance. Aid to small businesses. Keeping essential frontline workers on the job. Those are the key elements of my American Rescue Plan.

We have a new president and vice president -- Biden-Harris wins! Joe Biden will be the 46th President of the US.

@jennaschwartz @SpeakUpParents Too hard to try to stay within ethical guidelines when you have regulatory capture of the LAUSD school board on your mind, maybe? Wonder how many voters were fooled into thinking the actual Supt @AustinLASchools made an endorsement? Not cool.

So I guess next up is an apology from @SpeakUpParents for their “Parent Leader?” Although as an organization aligned with the policies of Trump, I won’t hold my breath.
