Governor Hochul’s proposed changes to the Foundation Aid education funding formula would result in NYC schools receiving nearly $350M less than they would without these changes. Tell Governor Hochul and the NYS Legislature not to shortchange NYC schools:

We hope everyone can see that no one who lacks this much integrity & has a team lacking integrity as well should have the final say on @NYCSchools policies & budgets. Dismantle the mayoral PAC on the PEP& #EndMayoralControl of public ed! #DemocraticSchoolGovernanceNow #PeoplesPEP

A conservative-leaning volunteer parent group that has protested "woke-ism" in public schools has set its sights on New York City's little-known Community Education Councils, which have some power over the city’s education policies. https://t.co/ucuQsYfikg

Honored to stand together with @MOREcaucusUFT @AQE_NY and speak out about the foolishness our CLOWN Mayor is trying to hide by playing a shell game with our school budget. Ur not filling anyone Mayor McSwagger!
NYC Public School educators deserve wages that exceed inflation. As the cost of living increases, educators deserve equitable compensation now! AQE stands with @MOREcaucusUFT and we call on @NYCMayor to pay our educators fairly & fully fund our schools!

We signed this letter as students because we have no idea what @NYCMayor is thinking. More testing? To get a handful more Black, Latino & disabled kids into schools that remind them every day they don’t belong? Nah. Fund schools in the BX. In Brownsville. In Jamaica.This is ridic

As elections cause collective anxiety, we revisit the #BlackJoyBack2SchoolParty as a lesson in centering #BlackJoy, ancestral wisdom, creativity as healing, community care & youth power. The fight continues regardless of whose in the White House. Thank you @OTforbtrschl

We will never recognize Joseph Belluck as a member of the Panel for Education Policy. He's spent 12 years ignoring community voice, approving charters in districts CECs rejected. That @NYCMayor would appoint him is a slap in public school communities' faces. No #QuidPEPQuo
