Tonight EmpowerEd educators are ensuring the @dcsboe.bsky.social is in touch with the daily realities in our schools: the impacts of mental health cuts, approaches to truancy and absenteeism, science & reading curriculum, support for small schools & so much more. #TeacherVoice matters.

After dozens of testimonies in favor of expanding community schools- we’re so excited to hear OSSE also call for a new more comprehensive approach to funding in this moment to make ALL schools community schools! We need legislation now! @chmnmendelson.bsky.social @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social

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.

WATCH: Educators across our entire city are demanding the DC Council step up & #FundCommunitySchools in the FY 2026 budget! At a time when the social safety net is at risk, one of the most important programs we have to service students and families is #CommunitySchools.” @chmnmendelson.bsky.social

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!

@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!

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.

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
EmpowerEd's educator letter urging council members to vote NO on the CM Bonds STAMP Act.
