The @APSCarverEC family mourns the loss of our founding principal Marcene Thornton. Ms. Thornton was a trailblazer whose vision for Carver Early College provided scholars with unprecedented life-changing opportunities! We will continue to honor her legacy 🙏🏾❤️

(Thread) Out of an abundance of caution, and due to predicted wind and rain, we will hold in-person school on Friday, September 30, 2022 but we will cancel or postpone all field trips, after-school activities, and athletic events beginning Friday and through the weekend.

Checks are on the way.

⚠️ UPDATE ⚠️ ED will extend the pause on federal student loan payments and keep the interest rate at 0%. ed.gov/news/press-rel…

Today was so much fun! It was the party we ALL needed! As we prepare for #APSDayOne we also want to celebrate our hard work! I told you, we are disrupting the fear together!

PSA: To be brutally honest, we need everyone to act now. We're seeing a significant rise in cases and that has to change for us to go back to face-to-face instruction Please practice social distancing and wear a face covering now. We REALLY want to see our kiddos on August 10th.

Facts: - Puerto Ricans are Americans. - Puerto Ricans have not received $91 billion in aid. - Puerto Rico is still waiting for the help its government should provide as they rebuild after 3,000 deaths and horrific damage.

Inspired by @neeratanden and her thoughts about supporting public schools as she speaks to the Council of Great City Schools annual legislative conference in Washington. @apsupdate @LeslieGrantBOE1 @MichelleforBOE @CarstarphenMJ @jasonesteves

Happy to attend the swearing-in with @CarstarphenMJ for the Fulton County Commission. Our Commissioners are true friends to @apsupdate.

APS is largest contributor to 5 of 10 TADs, investing $434M, so far, & another $1.2B to go. APS shared concerns w/ COA that should be addressed b4 APS is put in a position to participate in new commitments in any TAD. Amendments need to happen to protect schools & taxpayers.
