By a vote of 6-1, @IamCPS will start sharing student reading levels and math levels with parents on report cards starting this spring. Big win for families, transparency, and engagement. Read more here: mailchi.mp/cba88d760f43/prog…

Potential win in the CPS Budget + Suing the Trump-Vance Administration. My latest newsletter: mailchi.mp/b8a3f40c7391/prog… @IamCPS

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for holding nearly $6 billion in education funding hostage. Congress explicitly directed these funds to support students, teachers, and schools. We refuse to allow President Trump to ignore the law and play political games with public education.

Improved data means improved outcomes for kids.Transformation has begun. 9% increase in schools rated satisfactory or higher. 49% in 18/19 to 54% in 22/23-First rating after pandemic Now 2nd highest math recovery in NATION -16th highest reading. #THIS should be the buzz!
CPS' recovery is gaining momentum. The recent Education Recovery Scorecard results showcase significant gains in math and reading, setting CPS apart among national urban and Ohio 8 school districts. This places CPS in an exclusive group achieving substantial recovery in math – equivalent to nearly two years of progress in just one. Read more at:cps-k12.org//site/default.as…

This is absolutely unconscionable and abhorrent. I am proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community, and condemn the Ohio Senate override of Gov. DeWine’s veto of HB 68.
Ohio Senate votes to override @GovMikeDeWine veto of HB68, which bans gender-affirming health care for minors & restricts transgender girls from participating in school sports. House already did. So the bill becomes law in 90 days.

Senator Fetterman deserves all of our support. Please share his tweets, write his office and amplify his message.
My team is tracking every hostage who's been released and we are taking their photos and moving them to the opposite side of our office. It's truly impotent and cowardly that Hamas has taken even babies as hostages. HAMAS MUST RELEASE ALL THE HOSTAGES NOW!

זה היה לפני שישה ימים. פספסתי. אחד הנאומים הכי מרשימים שראיתי, לא רק בהקשר של הסכסוך - בהקשר של כל סכסוך. רחל גולדברג, אמו של הרש גולדברג שנחטף לרצועת עזה, בנאום באו"ם. הכוח שלה, החוכמה בדבריה. לצפות לצפות לצפות. ואז להפוך אותה לדוברת הרשמית של המשפחות.
This is a must see. Rachel Goldberg, mother of Hersh, at the UN yesterday.

Fun fact, Ohio’s Constitution only received 53% of the votes back in 1851. Under Issue 1, it wouldn’t have passed. Here are some amendments that wouldn’t have passed.

Collecting student input! @principallearns hosted a State of the Schools with high school students from across the district. Students were given a chance to ask honest and thought-provoking questions to the superintendent and share their experiences in schools. #IamCPS
