Procurement rules are absurd. As @nyc_sci says: "Violations of procurement rules often resulted in financial losses to the DOE, led to state and federal prosecutions, and/or prevented the DOE from working with the most qualified vendors at fair market prices. nycsci.org/wp-content/upl…

You miss the point. @DOEChancellor let stand a report by @NYC_SCI blasting his deputy for contract and billing violations without admitting his own involvement in the practices. This raises questions about his honesty and accountability. He has yet to correct the record.

It’s absurd to suggest that our @DOEChancellor’s job should be in jeopardy. A procurement rule was skirted in service of bringing desperately needed multilingual teachers into classrooms. Instead we should focus on DOE procurement reform. I have ideas: nydailynews.com/2026/07/18/sch…

"Public engagement in @NYCSchools feels performative rather than substantive. If more parents truly knew what was happening in our schools, there might be a full-scale parent uprising!” Alina Adams gathered comments from families for @The74: the74million.org/article/nycs-m…

@SusanBEdelman @DOEChancellor @NYC_SCI Try as I might, I can’t quite care about this procurement issue. I do, however, care about vacancies in foreign language depts which happens in practically every school, every year.

Under his plea bargain, ex-FDNY firefighter Michael Peña got a lighter prison sentence for the DWI crash that killed 23-year-old Justin Diaz. The judge called Diaz "every parent's dream." He called Peña "every parent's nightmare." susanedelman2.substack.com/p/rot-in-hell

@LincolnRestler @DOEChancellor I agree this particular issue was overblown as DoE used this loophole for years. But huge problems exist with @nycschools contracting & moving to Passport is insufficient - including critical weaknesses in protecting student privacy as @NYSComptroller audit showed- & more.

Cynthia Nixon's wife got a top job as Chief of Mass Engagement at DOE. Today we learn that Nixon herself got appointed by Mamdani to the panel to vet top judges. Blatant cronynism, no different than all the ones before him. nypost.com/2026/07/04/us-… nypost.com/2026/07/16/us-…

Are NYC's specialized high schools racist? You'd think so from the headlines from the Gothamist and NY Times. I graduated from Brooklyn Tech. From personal experience, the alleged "racism" is wrong. The SHSAT is revealing NYC's education crisis 🧵 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltwa…

How a community coordinator could commit such theft over five years without the principal getting wind of it should be explained. The case remains under investigation by the @NYC_SCI .
Susan Edelman@SusanBEdelman

DOE "piggy bank:" An ex-community coordinator at M.S. 302 in the Bronx and her husband were sentenced to 6 months in prison for stealing $170,000+ from the school in 2018 to 2022 via bogus purchase orders and invoices for sweatshirts, T-shirts and other merchandise never delivered. Clase used the school’s procurement and accounting systems to register her husband and a crooked pal as non-contracted DOE vendors, @BronxDAClark charged. amny.com/news/doe-worke…
