We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.
It’s Election Day. So why doesn’t Kentucky have any this year?

On @CollegeBoard @AP_Trevor using the "Look at me" passage from my book, Stranger Faces, for the AP Lang exam. The College Board did not ask me or my publishers for permission to use my work. That does not, in my view, fall under "fair use," as it was not being used to teach. 1/

Today was the last day we'll experience above normal temps with highs in the mid 40s to near 50° for the foreseeable future. Temps fall back to normal to close out the week, then drop below normal over the weekend, where they will likely stay for about 2 weeks, perhaps longer. 🥶

"chronic absenteeism" is a really cute way to say "no matter how much we pretend the pandemic is over, these kids are out sick constantly"
I will always be bitter about NYC’s COVID policies — keeping kids out of schools for too long. Zoom school didn’t work for most. Chronic absenteeism surged and hasn’t recovered. The plan to drop HS exit exams means @NYSEDNews has given up and just wants to hide its fail.
