I’m so tired of this system playing lip service to our communities while doing us dirty. Despite opposition from the community, Mayor’s appointees rubber stamped a Capital Plan that had no planned new school construction in the Bronx for the next 5 years! #EndMayoralControl

I would say it speaks volumes to who @NYCMayor is when he blames PARENTS for @NYCSchools remote learning infrastructure not working as it’s supposed to, instead of acknowledging the issue and committing to fixing it. #EndMayoralControl #OneTermMayor

We’re your School Board! #District14Strong on Instagram: "Yet another example of Eric Adams selfishness, delusion and disdain for not only NYC parents but the most marginalized amongst us. Rather than acknowledge the lack of fully funded, staffed and appropriately supported infrastructure now synonymous with the system HE controls and annually DEFUNDS, he is passing the buck to parents, many of whom spent DOZENS of attempts and HOURS this morning trying to log into zooms, access google classrooms and engage with digital systems meant to provide alternative options in the case of not only inclement weather, but also the public health and climate disasters we’ve seen more of in the past 5 years than in many of our lifetimes. Perhaps Eric Adams should have prioritized: ✨ Ensuring each child has a device ✨ Ensuring each child has access to either Wi-Fi or a hotspot ✨ Ensuring each family has access to digital support in a language they speak, read and understand fluently ✨Ensuring schools with high populations of asylum seeking families, students in temporary housing and title 1 eligibility were connected to resources they don’t have due to economic status and/ or may have lost/ become unable to pay for in transition When Eric Adams was handed our children’s futures we were told it was to maintain ‘mayoral accountability.’ We don’t know folks. Is that what today felt like? Is that what these remarks sound like? ACCOUNTABILITY?!

Educators blast planned cuts to NYC’s District 75 schools for students with disabilities
The cuts would gut extracurricular programming, thin out supply budgets, and exacerbate an already severe paraprofessional shortage.
