Next week will have 30K seats available says @joshwallacknyc - we're getting more set up each day. you can email if you need a seat. Priorities are shelter kids, essential worker & teachers' kids. you can email learningbridges@schools.nyc.gov
New Building captains role -is it beyond taking attendance? @DOEChancellor - says every year we have administrators assigned to schools facilitating problem solving at school level to assist NOT take attendance. (really?)
.@yoavgonen: How many more teachers needed for MS & HS, why is this # unknown & will you have enough time to hire them? @NYCMayor we have complex plan with many factors. Principals if need help, DOE employees can be assigned to their schools & new staff being hired.

.@SolJourno has raised $4.2M from @GatesFoundation since 2014. In 2016 I pointed out how its co-founders had repeatedly hyped edu projects/companies funded by Gates in @nytimes "Fixes" column w/o any disclosures, contrary to NYT ethical guidelines.nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2016/08/ny-tim…
2/I wrote NYT 2 times why no disclosure of this conflict but got no response. Then in Aug. 2020 @timothywschwab wrote about Gates influence over media in general & @soljourno
lack of disclosure in their @nytimes columns when promoting Gates-funded projects cjr.org/criticism/gate…
3/ @tirosenberg & @dnbornstein admitted that was a mistake & said they would ask NYT editors to "fix" their "Fixes" columns to disclosure their Gates funding cjr.org/criticism/gate…

Phil Wong CEC24 says parents are concerned Catholic schools are open for 5 days/wk in-person learning but not public schools & some leaving for these schools; Robert Holden asks: also heard kids are finished w/schoolwork in 10 min? Phil Wong says yes, not enough instruction.
.@MarkTreyger718 we know many kids going into schools only to learn online; today we find out over 72,000 open requests for device; only until July the admin started planning for the fall. When you fail to plan you plan to fail
Council does have power to shine light on problems. If we had gotten info we asked for fr/ DOE back in May & summer, or showed up for hearings in Sept., we could have learned this earlier. No one going to lecture us about ground rules.

Andrea Ortiz @thenyic- abrupt shift to remote learning hit immigrant students hardest & w/o devices & DOE system made parents sign on w/ DOE directly to request devices & NOT via schools.
.@randi_levine @AFCNewYork Some parents think they've sign up for devices but DOE says not/ no one is taking ownership of this issue to check w/parents what's going on.
.@MarkTreyger718 some families sharing devices & didn't realize they could ask for each child; @randi_levine says: DOE told families originally they could only get one. Technical asst. also needed to help them use it. Treyger: also Chromebooks are needed w/internet access.

.@StephenLevin33: Why is 0.2% positivity rate fr/random testing in schools so much lower than citywide positivity rate? Dr. Varma - city positivity rate higher b/c more sick testednot same as actual prevalence -- we estimate actual citywide prevalence last week about 0.1%-0.7%.
(this is one of most interesting stats we've never heard before from Mayor or anyone else.)
What statutory authority for mandated Covid testing asks @JoeBorelliNYC - & if they forced to remote, does that constitute sound basic education? Carranza:we'll get the legal authority for you. We are all choosing from portfolio from imperfect solutions including remote learning

We don't take issuing subpoena lightly; astonished that we couldn't get attendance data from DOE says @NYCSpeakerCoJo . Chaos is tremendous and no individual's fault; our stress nothing compared to anxieties families are facing with little info & rules changing day by by.
.@NYCspeakerCojo says getting education right will determine future of our city and how we handle this challenge will determine whether parents can go back to work & kids will get their education; excuses no longer acceptable
.@JumaaneWilliams says the planning for reopening schools could have been done better; it couldn't have been done worse. Blames it on incompetency of @nycmayor. Delays caused by Inadequate staffing while he was warned by principals of teacher shortage months in advance.
