While the @NYCSchools budget investments are valued, we urge @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil to #RestoreEdPrograms. From 3-K to #preschool special ed, restorative justice to #mentalhealth support, #community schools to multilingual #family outreach, #nurses to Student Success Centers —

We appreciate @NYCSchools budget investments- but NYC must also #RestoreEdPrograms like 3-K, preschool special education, restorative justice, Mental Health Continuum, community schools, immigrant family communications, nurses, & Students Success Centers @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil

Since #RaisetheAgeNY took effect in 2018, it has been a success. Across New York State, arrests of youth under 18 for serious and violent offenses are 60% lower than they were a decade ago.

We still don’t have a final #NYSBudget⏰ What would @GoodShepherdNYC and the #RaisetheAgeNY Coalition like to see in the final version from @GovKathyHochul to support justice-impacted youth? 🧵

Attend the Staten Island Town Hall today at 6pm to #SaveEducation. Join @RitaJosephNYC @KamillahMHanks & the Emergency Coalition to Save Education Programs to learn about the #NYC #education programs on the chopping block & how to save them! Register at forms.office.com/r/SWEessDAW5.

Next stop: Staten Island! Join @CMRitaJoseph & @KamillahMHanks for a town hall on 4/4. Programs at risk of cuts include 3-K, preschool special education, social workers, community schools, shelter-based coordinators, bilingual supports & more. Register at forms.office.com/r/SWEessDAW5

@GoodShepherdNYC agrees with @NYCCouncil. NYS must reject the proposed change to the school funding formula inflation factor. As federal stimulus $$ expire, NYS should be increasing funds to help @NYCSchools sustain important education programs--not making the situation worse.

“Find money now!” We’re at City Hall with other Learning to Work advocates asking the City to save youth job training programs! #saveLTW

With @DignaLayne representing @GoodShepherdNYC at the @bronxbp Women's History Month Celebration! Congratulations to the honorees!
