essential point in an essential thread/piece - all the comments about keeping schools open are mostly ignoring the UFT factor https://twitter.com/elizashapiro/status/1326871108998615040
this amounts to a push for mayoral candidates to take on the UFT, or at least help broker a new deal on the 3% threshold set by the current mayor & teachers union https://twitter.com/JonathanRosenBR/status/1326903087173423105
again, officials should be calling on the mayor & the UFT to renegotiate. this is not really about indoor dining, tho that is obviously a piece of the larger picture https://twitter.com/MarkLevineNYC/status/1326883644191989760
given the upward trends & lagging indicators, genuinely unsure that there is actually "a chance to turn this around" in terms of hitting 3% and schools closing, if that metric is being stuck to as the mayor said https://twitter.com/NYCMayor/status/1326957847679295488
here's another call from the City Council education committee chair about switching to a different schooling model, very much worth consideration; but, again, the UFT is central to keeping school buildings open https://twitter.com/MarkTreyger718/status/1326323207624855552
