Today I had the distinct pleasure of showing Ms Melo, our art teacher from Brazil, and her lovely family the new building as well as her classroom. Through tears(!) she talked about what a dream it was to be in the US and to be a big part of our legacy at Lyons Farm

Shirt thread that I feared was going to end in corruption and worse outcomes for the kids, but it’s both informative and downright good!
Between 1997-2008, voters in Los Angeles approved a series of bonds dedicating around $20 billion in funding to the construction, expansion, and renovation of hundreds of schools. What was the impact of this massive investment in public goods? Julien Lafortune and I investigated.

HUGE NEWS: This month, Durham is going to be massively reshaped by the real estate industry. The industry is asking to lock in place over 400 football fields worth of land for permanently unsustainable single family sprawl. City Council is unlikely to demand it to be walkable.

It’s been an incredible 2 years!
In less than 24 hours, we will say farewell to 4 amazing cohorts of Principal Fellows who faced the challenges of COVID and remained steadfast in their pursuits of becoming exemplary leaders in our schools. We are proud of you and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Duke killed the Triangle Light Rail project so I feel like this L is well earned.

I loved running into @PrincipalJHop at the SoDu Farmer’s Market. He’s building relationships with students & families. I heard there is a contest to vote for a mascot. Missing from this photo is the line of families waiting to meet him. #WeAreDPS #SomosDPS

I really never believed this would happen. Not like this. I just thought yes they’ll go into the occupied territories in the Donbas. I never thought there would be a coordinated attack. Kyiv, Kramatorsk, Kharkiv. I have just been in all these cities.

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"
