More storm facts (including the previously tweeted facts). It is now the 14th wettest water year for Downtown LA, with 23.99 inches so far. Only ~0.50 inches left to go until it nudges into 12th

So many options for our special ed students have been removed. Sitting in an IEP & knowing we "used" to have programs & options that would have benefitted our families is so frustrating. And wrong.

Wondering how you’re all going to get to school tomorrow? I’m wondering how I’m supposed to get Señor Carvalho, Underlord of Miami to all of his photo ops! Pray for me…🙏🏻🙏🏻

Because WHY visit any of the dozens of LAUSD schools engaged in summer learning?
Oh right, because it’s likely a disaster shadowed only by the marine mammal crisis.
And is the district partnering, or crashing the party? #PRstunt

Los Angeles Unified is stepping up to support the work of the Marine Mammal Care Center in caring for the influx of sick sea lions. We’re not going anywhere and will help as long as this crisis lasts. @MMCCLA

Will @TheGluster cover @LASchools Superintendent Carvalho’s assault on Primary Promise or is keeping a program that helps vulnerable students not important to @LATACO? #KidsFirst?

One of the best pieces of the year IMHO.
Time to stop the hyperbole and instead focus on reading and literacy within the scope of the whole child.

#BREAKING: RACIST KEVIN DE LEON ABANDONS LITTLE TOKYO ELDERS IN THE RAIN.
Disgraced Councilmember @kdeleon sent these food distribution flyers to seniors throughout CD14. Dozens lined up with their carts in front of Little Tokyo Towers for over an hour.
Kevin never showed up.

The US has had 130 mass shootings since the start of 2023 and 13 occurred at schools. In 86 days, 63 children have died from gun violence. To paraphrase Mandela, there is no keener revelation of the GOP’s soul than the way it treats its guns versus the way it treats its children.

What does it say about our beliefs about the impact of daily instruction in schools when we remain so focused on tutoring, afterschool programs, and summer school as solutions to pandemic effects?

We cannot take HUMANS out of our schools. I knew this was coming. The sad privatization of mental health. FUND COUNSELORS, pay them what they’re worth so they come work for us. Kids do not want zoom therapy.

Don’t tell me that @LASchools doesn’t have the $$ to meet @SEIULocal99 & @UTLAnow demands for a #livingwage
Look at how many non-school staff earn $10K /month!
@LAUSDSup makes $440K year!

There sure are A LOT of non-teaching @LAUSD staff at Beaudry making over $10K per month with free benefits! 🙀
And you don’t have $$ to pay @UTLAnow teachers at least $60K a year?
