PFT member Chavonna Holiday-Boulware nails it: a faster path to Senior Career status isn't just about the salary increase - it's recognition by the District of the experience and wisdom that longtime educators bring to schools. #PHLed #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #CBAWednesday

This school lacks heat and plumbing and should not be open today #PhlEd
The decision to resume in-person learning should have been made if building conditions were acceptable. Students shouldn't have to deal with dangerous, unshoveled walkways or lack of heat. We are escalating hazardous building conditions to the District and demanding accountability. #PhlEd

An injury to one is an injury to all. AFTPA Director of Organizing Syed Adnan speaks for all of us: If college administrators continue their anti-labor delay tactics & refuse to come to the table, they'll see us out on the picket lines with @fsfccp.bsky.social ✊🏽

I will never, ever, ever shut up about the fact that true, working school libraries are all but extinct in the Philadelphia School District. Two full-time school librarians, 216 schools, ~117k kids. TWO. Most of my students have never met a school librarian. #phled
Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Vacancies and staff churn destabilize learning; that's unfair to students. If the District wants to keep pace with a growing city, it must agree to improvements that allow us to keep doing the work we love #PhlEd #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

Okay Rep Rabb LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
He was always really good & his office very responsive when I was working to support #PHLed public schools
Plus I would often see him around at other things, supporting workers or immigrants
A fine choice!

When Mom's a reporter, Take Your Child To Work Day is covering the mayor at a classroom visit. (Story coming soon!) Strangely, the 11-year-old declined to cover tonight's #PHLed school board meeting, though.
