@GavinNewsom Sir Newsome, you’re clearly doing a lot right because you got these MAGA cult losing their minds in these comments! 🤣🤣 Keep up the great work! 💙💙💙💙

Pay attention. Trump’s trying to steal the 2026 election.

@draslewis @GreatCitySchls Thank you for your advocacy, Dr. Lewis!

As Superintendent of Durham Public Schools, I stand with other Superintendents as well as the @GreatCitySchls in calling for the immediate release of federal education funds that have already been approved by Congress and signed into law. These funds are critical to ensuring our classrooms are fully staffed, our schools are safe, and our scholars receive the support and enrichment they deserve. With the new school year quickly approaching and our year-round schools beginning in less than three weeks, any delay in funding jeopardizes our ability to deliver on our promise to scholars and families - to ignite limitless potential. We urge the U.S. Department of Education and the White House Office of Management and Budget to act without delay. Our children cannot afford to wait #FundPublicSchools #DurhamPublicSchools #EquityInEducation #GreatCitySchools

Hearing the words of our illustrious Deputy Superintendent @DrNicholasKing in his session at the 2025 @DurhamPublicSch Leadership Retreat has me so excited for what is to come for academic success in DPS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #WeAreDPS

The highlight of the @DurhamPublicSch 2025 Leadership Retreat was hearing the inspirational message of @PrincipalKafele in person after a year of participation in his virtual AP & New Principal Academy every Saturday morning to grow myself as a school leader. #WeAreDPS

Powerful voices, bold leadership! The principal panel at the DPS Leadership Retreat brought insight, heart, and vision. Inspired by the leaders shaping our schools and our future. #WeAreDPS @DurhamPublicSch

Today I graduate with my second master’s degree — the MSA. Grateful for the professors who shaped me, and the family and friends who lifted me. This journey was for every student I will serve, and every door I’ll now help open. #MSAGraduate #Gratitude #NCCU #EaglePride @NCCU

@drmassen @NCCU Thanks my friend and for being here today to support my journey!

Celebrating my friend and new school administrator colleague, @PolyglotPerezM. Congratulations on graduating from @NCCU with your MSA today! I can’t wait to see how your leadership continues to impact students!

@NCCU MSA Class of 2025 #EaglePride

These are my people—my cheerleaders, my support, my MSA Cohort. Thanks to @NCCU and all our wonderful professors!

Have you seen the new @ncpublicschools #NCWLstandards instructional support resources at ncdpi.instructure.com/courses/6912/p…? Now is a good time to take a look so that you have the tools you need to update before implementation in 25-26! #SettingTheStandard @FLANC_WorldLang

Happy National Principals’ Day to all the wonderful administrators out there!

Thrilled to have led 2 Spanish-language sessions at the Durham Public Schools Family Engagement Summit today! Representation and accessibility are key to fostering a truly inclusive educational environment, and I’m proud to be part of this journey. ¡Juntos, avanzamos!
