@JulieLB Ohio’s state government in the control of the GOP is working to end public education. It’s a huge error. tultican.com/2026/10/13/ohio… #Privatization

I've been a broken record on why school vouchers are turning out to be a real liability for the GOP in Texas (and beyond). Nice to see the NYT pick up on this.

Teacher turnover is the key barrier to expanding childcare. “Currently they make less than food service workers and parking lot attendants and we know, because they receive less, you get high turnover” said our state Superintendent Conway at the Child Care Summit with @VECF_Ready

I wrote about how the hollowing out of higher education is hurting rural students. Wisconsin is an extreme cautionary tale but rising inequality and the obsessive focus on ROI are happening everywhere barnraisingmedia.com/gutting…

Today, Gov. Hochul announced that New York State will opt into the Trump administration's voucher program. Giving up local control of public education to the federal government through this scheme is a failure of leadership. Gov. Hochul will bear the responsibility, but our students, educators, and families will bear the price. The UFT is disappointed in this decision and we will continue to stand with parents, educators and public school supporters to do what we can to roll back this policy and protect our classrooms. Full statement: uft.org/news/press-releases/…

Below is a quote from Michael Mulgrew, UFT President, criticizing the transfer of local education control to the federal government through the Trump administration's private school voucher scheme. The quote highlights concerns about leadership and the impact on students, educators, and families.

There's a lot we still don't know about how Trump's school voucher program is going to impact public schools. But seems pretty telling that the most hopeful vision looks like Spirit Airlines. chalkbeat.org/2026/09/30/how…

On Wednesday, September 9, the UFT, AFT and Microsoft announced a new agreement: a National AI Safety & Privacy Standard for schools. The agreement is focused on protecting students' and teachers' privacy and safety, while ensuring transparency for educators and parents about the AI tools. Hear from UFT President Michael Mulgrew and AFT President Randi Weingarten about why this agreement is needed now. You can watch the full press conference here: youtu.be/Ul9wvI5jsSo

This summer, thanks to amazing solidarity from UFT members and unions across the state, we successfully lowered the retirement age for TRS Tier Six members to 58 with 30 years of service. A half-decade earlier. A big win together! Learn more about the fight to Fix Tier Six here: uft.org/get-involved/uft-cam…

Voucher programs go against the idea that every student, regardless of zip code, deserves a high-quality education. Private schools that accept voucher dollars can legally turn away students with disabilities or on the basis of religion or sexuality. We’ve seen these issues time and again - that’s why community and labor organizations are calling on Gov. Hochul to #OptOutNow and keep federal vouchers out of New York!

Another way Rahm functions to keep Dems in line is to continually insist that every economic problem is really an education problem

They were promised the school had been clean, but it hadn't been.
They were promised air filters, but none were installed.
As workers cleared debris from the towers, they dumped it next to the HS!
