This afternoon President @rweingarten is joining the @TaubmanCenter's School Choice in the Post-Pandemic Era conference. 🧵

@rweingarten

Since the beginning of August, I have visited scores of public schools in 20 states and territories, 40-50 schools in 30 different localities. @rweingarten

@rweingarten

And I'm saying that because from Petaluma to Puerto Rico, the joy students and staff feel to be back in school, in-person, is palpable. @rweingarten

It's an amazing day in a chaotic time. - @rweingarten at @FloridaEA's #FEADA21

@rweingarten

I've been in 20 states, 40 schools since Aug 1. Every place I'm in you see it in educator's and bus driver's eyes: the joy of being back. - @rweingarten #FEADA21 @FloridaEA

@FloridaEA

Part of being here for as long as I've been here... is that when @FloridaEA came together, it was a pivotal moment for the union. - @rweingarten #FEADA21

Some important highlights of this settlement:

✅ Borrowers whose applications for #PSLF were denied will now be reconsidered

@SanCarlosElms

Last week, we lost @EdinburghAFT member Rosa Pacheco to Covid after 35 years on the job. Today, we visited her students @SanCarlosElms to honor her, and all the lives lost during the pandemic.

With the help of @FirstBook we donated 250 books, backpacks, and masks to her school.

@PSJA_LBJ_MS

As part of #Back2School, we visited @PSJA_LBJ_MS where we donated another 250 books. Students are so excited to be in the classroom and it shows! Thank you to @drjlarredondo and all of the @PSJAISD community for welcoming us with open arms.

@fieldsfalcons

#Back2School continues with a visit to @fieldsfalcons with @drgonzalez8 and @mstrdla of @McAllenISD. 60% of students at Fields are Bilingual and 94% are economically disadvantaged.
