The Macarena scene on #AbbottElementary healed me💛

Cracking up at this concept 🤣

Philly schools just had to borrow $1.5 billion to pay their bills. Here’s why. The district will pay $30 million for the short-term borrowing, money that “will never be reimbursed, and will never reach the classroom,” board member Whitney Jones said.

Harrisburg fallout: #PHLed had to borrow $1.5 billion just to make sure its bills - and teachers - are paid through December. That's $30m lost to borrowing costs that can't be recouped. It's a "disgrace," one board member said. Story: www.inquirer.com/education/hi...

Abbott Elementary plot irl

Philly teachers have a tentative contract Terms of the deal were not immediately available, but PFT leaders were pushing for raises, an end to a controversial attendance policy, and the addition of parental leave — which teachers had lacked.

The Philadelphia School District and its largest union have a tentative, three-year deal.

The dramatic news came late Sunday night — less than 12 hours before the first day of school for 117,000 district students, but a week before the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers’ contract expired.

I can’t make it to a picket line this week, but I just made my daily call to the mayor! Make yours if you haven’t yet— 215-686-2181

In solidarity with DC 33✊🏼

I'm baffled at how Philly government considered members of DC 33 - particularly sanitation workers, 911 operators & Water Dept. workers - "essential" during the pandemic but not essential when they ask for a living wage in the city where they work which also has the highest wage tax in the nation.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

A secret DOJ probe of Philly schools’ asbestos management means officials will now have to answer to a court The School District of Philadelphia had at one point fallen years behind on asbestos inspections. It now must report to a court following a five-year federal investigation.

Tough to overstate the big deal this #PHLed prosecution agreement is. This is the first time in U.S. history that a school district has been criminally charged for an environmental violation, federal officials said. www.inquirer.com/education/ph...

Homeowners would get property tax break under new bill | City Council roundup Philadelphia homeowners whose properties are worth less than $110,000 would pay nothing in property taxes.

Even with state increases, the School District of Philadelphia has a massive deficit, just to keep the current level of services in the schools.

City Council should be explaining how they will *increase* funding for the District, not decrease it. www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

I was traveling last night and missed the live new #AbbottElementary episode, but I just watched it now and WOW. I am so emotional. I miss my students so much and kinda can’t wait to go back next week??? Wild I know

Awe Gregory is def gonna find a principal job now #AbbottElementary

Wow Ava is reinstated!!! But will she keep it?? I feel like she was thriving ngl #AbbottElementary

What’s crazy is that it’s so true that higher ups never listen to staff. It always takes parents to get them to listen. Family input is so so important in schools! #AbbottElementary

RJ speaking at the rally is really so beautiful!!! My heart #AbbottElementary

Melissa: 😡😤 “really WHAT?”

Just got the official notification that the NEH program I got into this summer is cancelled due to the Trump administration gutting NEH funding. I’m grounded in truth when I say— the impacts of this admin are only just beginning.

My special ed students need schools to be funded by both federal and state governments | Opinion If the Trump administration cuts the Department of Education, my students — who need every last resource, speech therapist, occupational therapist, and sensory object to thrive — will be impacted.

I’m not choosing between buildings and books for my students and neither should you. Read more in my op-ed for the Inquirer—
