the CDD ripped Alex & two of our Black engineering teachers from Camden (92% students of color & 2x the size of north) & sent them to North where they were all laid off due to low enrollment. district leadership will close schools & STILL continue to starve Northside Black children of resources.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

And I mean month after month, not the month before screenings were held or the month he needed something from Labor. He's since showed up routinely even after leaving the council, because he's a former union member and believes in organized Labor.

I'm not speaking for the Duluth Central Labor Body, but guests are generally welcome at the monthly meeting. In the eight years I've been a delegate, Zack is the guest I've seen most at those meeting. As a city councilor, he would show up & just ask if anyone had something they wanted to talk about.

This is a major decision that will affect kids, families, and educators across our city. MPS should slow down, hear from more families and educators, and delay the vote so we can get this right.

Becky Dernbach continues to be the best education journalist in Minnesota, and this is the most accurate summary of last night’s meeting at Camden High School.
Leonard stepped up to the mic. 

“I have a hard time listening to a conversation about resources in a community that’s constantly experiencing limited resources and doing amazing work,” he said. “Who are the district leaders that are going to stand up for Black children in this community specifically? Who’s going to stand for the North Side, given that we continue to bear the brunt of things, the brunt of the impact?”

i think Minneapolis Public Schools’ leadership choosing to extend the first in-person “school transformation” meeting by an extra hour and 20 mins is the perfect metaphor for why this plan needs to be delayed & must throughly engage with our school communities around these devastating closures.
