If it's Friday, it's the day for #AskTheMayor on @BrianLehrer !

Brian starts with a question about staffing issues at public schools, more here: on.wsj.com/31B0MKK
"I do hear the concerns of the principals, and that answer is coming to them very, very shortly," @NYCMayor says. The principals' union sent out a letter today to the mayor discussing staffing levels

The mayor says there's a pool of subs, and from Absent Teacher Reserve, or ATR
"A lot of work has been done to keep training the teachers," on remote teaching, @NYCMayor says. But the DOE hasn't given stats on how much training the teachers have received. I've spoken with teachers who have not received any.
"There's a lot of energy in this effort right now," @NYCMayor says. He says there's a lot of momentum in Albany (they are set to return within the next 2 weeks, I've been told)
Regina in Manhattan asks about the New York Times podcast "Nice White Parents" and asks a Q about school segregation.

"I don't know what you're referring to," @NYCMayor says. ("Have you listened to the podcast?" the latest in this genre for the mayor)
.@NYCMayor, who has not listened to the podcast or heard of it or knew about it, is now opining angrily about school segregation and criticism.

"a lot of elite media don't want to" discuss desegregation
"cocktail party comfort going on" when people discuss it
School learning this year? Could be in tents.
@NYCMayor on @BrianLehrer being asked honest, legitimate questions about concerns: Intense!
This is a rough summer Friday for @NYCMayor so far. He's urged listeners to "stop this cocktail party madness" when asked questions about school segregation and concerns about school reopening.
.@NYCMayor seems to perk up when asked about the "hits" he took at some of last night's speakers at the RNC.

"I don't know if it was my police gut feeling" @NYCMayor says on Fox 5 of the Columbia protests being "different"

"It was materialized that there were outside agitators," he continues, but neither he nor the NYPD have been able to provide details.

"We have identified some"
The mayor has moved on from saying "outside agitators" infiltrated Columbia's protests to saying there could be a bad professor out there "radicalizing" students.
Asked about getting migrants to work, @NYCMayor again reiterates that the city needs lifeguards, which is true, but him repeating it shows he has no idea how his own @NYCParks certifies and trains lifeguards.

In short, it's too late to become a summer lifeguard.

Last night's storm was complicated in that climate change is making these events stronger and more frequent -- but there is plenty of basic governmental failure that makes things worse.

So we have @NYCMayor and others deferring only to climate change and not their own failings
On 183rd St. in Queens, a mother and son died when rushing water flooded their basement apartment. The foundation collapsed, making it harder for FDNY to rescue them, officials said.
Jennifer Mooklal lives across the street and said her home has flooded her entire life.

“For politicians and the governor to say that it’s global warming, it’s not global warming,” she said. “It’s a sewer issue that they don’t want to acknowledge.”

.@NYCMayor kicks things off a little differently -- he's starting with the daily indicators and giving the 7-day rolling average of Covid-19 positivity rate
1.38% 7-day rolling average citywide

Problem is primarily in 9 Zip codes which is affecting the daily number, @NYCMayor says, which is OVER 3%.

It shows the city has to be on "high alert" to keep upticks down, he says
Based on the 7-day rolling average, schools will remain open, @NYCMayor says.

First question for @NYCMayor on @InsideCityHall is about the uptick in Covid-19 cases in certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens. MAyor says there will be "a lot of close work with community organizations" to get people wearing masks, socially-distanced
.@NYCMayor says he spoke with community leaders in one neighborhood late Saturday, who he said were committed to getting more compliance
.@errollouis says there are 8 Zip codes in the city that are over the 3% threshold to close pubblic schools.

Mayor says it's 3% on a 7-day rolling standard that the city set as a standard. The city overall is 1.9% -- higher than it's been in the last weeks.
