My daughter’s school is letting staff and classes go because of @NYCMayor’s immoral budget cuts but here’s a $48,000 NYPD Tesla at the 111th precinct. #RestoreTheCuts
250 more to go. And 184 EV Ford Mustangs, another premium high priced EV. All with no-bid non competitive contracts because NYPD Gucci.

So I’m going to address the minority of people who (in good faith) think this makes financial sense.
1) “Existing NYPD cars cost more”
Untrue, the base price of those are lower. Adding things like bullet proof raises the cost. They will want to do this here too.

Someone (not in education) was surprised to hear that teachers have to set up their own classrooms.
She thought we had someone to do that for us and we just walk in the first day and start teaching. I had to explain it takes days of prep + physical labor. And we don’t get paid.

So in case anyone didn’t know. Yes. We haul bookcases and drag desks around the room. We climb on furniture to hang charts, put up bulletin boards.
In elementary, we teach multiple subjects so there are tons of books & manipulatives to organize. Centers to create. Signs. Tech.

Baskets & bins of stuff every year to take out of the closet and put somewhere with kid-friendly labels. Name tags need to be made & put on everything. And of course we have to clean everything before it can be used. All of this is normal. We usually get about 4 hours.
