We’re starting our @HistCambridge tour of Cambridgeport at Peter Valentine’s house.

Applause as as we learn @JustAStartCorp will turn into 12 affordable housing!

Many sighs as participants recall that this corner used to be Pearl Street Market. Now it is 4 (?) high end town houses. This property could probably fit 10x times the number of homes.

#MissingMiddle zoning reform needed.

Apparently meetings to stop the highway we’re here. Image

Alright, one last tweet-thread:

- Getting those first public comments I missed (b/c @PattyNolan1 noted I had missed her comment + I must set that right)
- then finish last ~30 of the meeting.

For my threads on Schedules + Algebra, see here:
@PattyNolan1 First comment -
Eleanor - sounds like she's about 10 or younger? Wonderful!

She says she needs more time to eat lunch!!

Standing in the lunch line takes a long time. When we've gotten our food, we don't have a long time to eat!

They usually don't finish lunch & are hungry!

Ok, everyone! Let's tweet about the #cambma School Committee's ALGEBRA discussion.

Holy crap! This meeting went *6.5 hours*!!


(See my tweets on the SCHEDULES discussion here: https://t.co/nMqfW8yp6N)…lect-video-ondemand-cpsd.cablecast.tv/CablecastPubli…
Starts 3:49 — "Pathway to 8th grade Algebra FOR ALL" they call it.

Head of Math Mulligan mentions she's calling in from vacation.

So, all 8th graders will take Algebra I in 8th grade 3 years from this Fall. Image

I'm watching the School Committee meeting starting 20 minutes late — was flooded in my apartment basement today + had to deal with that.

- we need clear communication to parents -- if the timeline might slip -- okay but you need to tell families (paraphrase at the end there)
