Ward 7 Education Council (W7EC) is working to help ensure high quality, community-based public education for all of Ward 7! #Ward7SchoolsRock

The Capitol Hill Classic and the @EasternMarching is the perfect combination. It was our honor to provide entertainment for the runners. @HillRagDC @theHillisHome @DCPSChancellor @sharonabean @DCPS_Community @MayorBowser @Ward7EdCouncil @Ward6Wiley @Eboni_RoseDC


It’s official: no curfew emergency vote today. Pinto was noncommittal on whether she’d bring it back up later.


NOW: D.C. police interim chief Jeffery Carroll says 13 police officials have been served termination papers, all related to an internal investigation into crime data manipulation. @CityCast_DC






@EJGoulet @ScottGoldstein @Stamper4DC @DCPoliceUnion School police should protect the school from outsiders that seek to cause it harm. With very few exceptions, schools should be able to handle their own internal matters. So resource the schools well and get out of the way.


NEWS: A source tells me that @MayorBowser and @DoniCrawford have come to an agreement on changes to the teen curfew zones bill that could secure the 9 votes needed to extend the zones over the summer. Bowser will cover costs of expanded DPR programming, as Crawford requested.



People are going to say “yeah, but the behavior!” Look- teens act out. If it’s violent, they can be held accountable. But if you can’t see that behavior is also a REACTION to control, remember: “the child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”

The mayor just suggested twice that paying early childhood educators more is irrelevant to making child care affordable for families and early childhood centers aren’t “real schools with real teachers.” This is NOT okay and council must fix this toxic mindset and budget. @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @CMBrookePinto @CMFrumin @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @CMZParker5 @charlesallen @CMWendellFelder @trayonwhite @chenderson @DoniCrawford @maustermuhle @AlexKomaDC @SegravesNBC4 @SamPKCollins @Under3DC

🚨 Today we're releasing our DC mayoral candidate questionnaires on public education conducted w/ Coalition for DC Public Schools & Communities. We'll highlight some responses below. First- their top 4 funding priorities from our list. Full questionnaires are here: c4dcpublicschools.org/mayoral-questi… @maustermuhle @tomsherwood @SegravesNBC4 @AlexKomaDC @jennygathright @SamPKCollins @wusa9

NEWS: D.C. says that starting on May 12 it will implement a wait list for the child care subsidy program, which currently helps 7,500 kids from low-income families pay for child care. City officials say without it, enrollment growth will blow the program's $96 million budget.


A full house here in Ward 7 for a mayoral education forum. The spiciest question, as ever, is on mayoral control: @Janeese4DC says she’s for reforms (like an independent OSSE) while @goodweather4dc says he’d be willing to “give up” control of schools. No clear answer from VO.
