We agree, @chmnmendelson.bsky.social: oversight alone just hasn't moved the needle. Every year hundreds of residents testify on education issues, but DC council, the legislative body, has resisted LEGISLATING. Join our campaign to make this education oversight season and ACTION season.

Educators showing up yesterday in #Ward7 to let @chmnmendelson.bsky.social know we MUST prioritize experiential learning, educator retention, community schools in budget. In a city of our wealth, it’s only a “tough budget year” if we fail to ask those w/ capacity to INVEST to protect our residents!

Yesterday educators, advocates and decision makers gathered at our 2025 DC #TeacherSolutions Summit to collaborate & hear from educators on topics from special education to restorative practices to phones in schools and combatting the federal threats.

@chmnmendelson.bsky.social - thank you for meeting with DC educators today. We’re ready to fight along side you to ensure Congress keeps their hands off DC and allow us to set our own budget priorities- like community schools, experiential learning & educator retention!

We congratulate Rep. Jacque Patterson as the new President of DC SBOE and Rep. Ben Williams as the new Vice President! We also thank Eboni-Rose Thompson for her service as President. We look forward to bringing #TeacherVoice to this new board!

NEW PODCAST:We have a lot of work ahead to fight back against federal threats to public education, but it's also an act of resistance to keep on with the work we're already advancing & not allow ourselves to be distracted. Listen to our new podcast episode reflecting on the election: buff.ly/4ilWFYE

CM Anita Bonds filed a bill that purports to address aggressive student behavior towards school staff. This bill was crafted without consulting us, WTU or DC ACTS, FAILS to address the problem & would do real harm. Council Members should vote NO. Our statement ⬇️ @chmnmendelson.bsky.social
