Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I really wish you had told me you would be in Austin. We could have done a whole ppt about your eating schedule. Very good start with E&R. And always get the cacio e pepe (or really every pasta on offer) 120

Reposted by Ryan ReynaRyan Belmore @ryanbelmore.com · 12/06/2026Alexandria's school board adopted its FY27 budget tonight, 8-1. $371M operating budget, 1.5% city increase, 56 positions cut, and a 1.25% raise that falls short of what the board first negotiated. Abdalla the lone no vote on both budget items. 122
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 10/06/2026The adjustment you mentioned was jointly negotiated with EAA, not unilaterally changed by ACPS. 110

Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Do all suggestions start with “P” and end with “ickleball” or did my AI summary hallucinate those comments? @oconnell.bsky.social 160
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Sounds like up to two spots. City staff will work with them on location and where crosswalks may go. I think 410
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 14/05/2026We asked for this specifically in our work session on Tuesday. Should be in future budget books 131
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 14/05/2026There’s some history that’s hard to unpack on social. But short answer is that it comes out of school budget. Not cheap to start when you take into account training costs. If you’re game, I’d be happy to participate in a convo around this thread at some point. Seems like there might be interest 120
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Core knowledge is considered a school wide program (like dual language or STEM). Lots of history around this, but in short, schools are able to select their programs 100
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Something that’s not picked up in the general averages is the level of EL student. Not all ELLs are the same distance from English proficiency when they enter our system. And that looks dramatically different school to school 030
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Tucker is “On Track” overall but still identified for subgroup performance. That being said, they have same number of days, just a modified calendar. I’d like to see us add days to calendar for all Title I schools (at a minimum). We just need the budget to do it…. 030
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 13/05/2026If you look at other high EL population divisions across the commonwealth, unfortunately the picture looks the same (and in fact ACPS may be fairing better). Obviously this is a crisis, so not trying to blow past it, just providing some extra context. We need longer school days/years and tutoring 150

Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I’ve heard recent comments that folks are concerned about the growth of ACPS central office, so I decided to dig in more to see where the budget growth has come in the last five years. What I found may surprise. Take a look at my new blog: www.acpsschoolboard.com/post/topic-d...acpsschoolboard.comTopic Deep Dive: Where Your School Dollars Are Actually GoingUsing five years of budget data spanning FY 2023 through the proposed FY 2027 budget, I'll walk you through what's actually driving our spending and staffing changes. The findings may surprise you. 451
Ryan Reyna @ryanreyna.bsky.social · 27/02/2026To be clear, our ask does include projected CBA for FY27. That’s why it’s at 3.5% over last year. Important that community understands that. 131
