Talk about powerful parents. $2 billion to help the kids who need it most.
Today, the State of California alongside counsel for the plaintiffs announced a $2+ billion settlement in a class-action lawsuit filed in 2020 by families to hold California’s education leaders accountable for failing our children during the pandemic.

REACH Way Institute Day 1 is here!! I know we’ve got the right folks in the room when everyone walks in and is already connecting.
Together, the organizations gathered for our first-ever institute impact 350,000 students. That’s power.

ADL Central Pacific Regional Director @MarcLevine addresses @OaklandEA’s push for a one-sided condemnation of the war in Israel on OUSD schools (@OUSDNews), which fuels dangerous narratives and could isolate the area’s Jewish community.

This cover is amazing. That it was needed is disturbing and disappointing.
The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –
I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.
Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

🧵 This illustration of eleven enslaved people surrounding a Union soldier who’s reading the news that they are freed is called “The Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation.” In 1865, folks heard this news in Texas for the first time and that’s why today we celebrate Juneteenth.

BREAKING: The College Board will revise A.P. African American Studies yet again, after widespread protest against its decision to remove key concepts targeted by the DeSantis admin. This time they promise to protect a "holistic" view of the discipline. nytimes.com/2023/04/24/us/ap…

The word "unique" means one of a kind. Don't describe something as rather unique, most unique or very unique.

Our kids have lost so much over the last few years, the last thing they should lose is more learning time. @TheOaklandREACH has joined @CAParentPower to start this petition highlighting a public sentiment that does NOT support strikes that disrupt learning.

Rooting for these young people in MT who are suing the state for its support of fossil fuels, claiming it violates their right to a clean & healthful environment. "A victory for the Montana youth would help create a foundation for other climate cases.”

40% of California schools are over 50 years old!
They weren't built for our new climate reality, so we must act.

Magnificent view from space today of California.
A deep snowpack stretches all the way from the Oregon border to Baja California.
