Good.
BREAKING: A federal judge struck down Arkansas' first-in-the-nation ban on gender-affirming care for children as unconstitutional, the first ruling to overturn such a prohibition as a growing number of Republican-led states adopt similar restrictions. apnews.com/article/politics-…

The Latino community is the fastest-growing in the state, making Massachusetts stronger every day. Tomorrow, I'll sign an Executive Order creating our Latino Empowerment Council. Together, we'll expand opportunity and improve equity across the Commonwealth.

“We have to make sure we’re centering students’ voices, their experiences, as well as the research that shows that a diverse educator workforce is good for all students,” @selmekki said. “It’s good for all outcomes, and it’s actually good for the country.” #edleaders #edchat – at Salt Lake City, UT

Just because school has always started early doesn't mean it should. A later start time can improve students' sleep, attendance, & academic performance. Learn more about changing school start times in this @edutopia article. #wellness #wholechild edutopia.org/article/school-…

I love bold, new, courageous ideas where we can easily quantify the success.
We must recognize that we are not approaching a crisis, we are already in one. One way to solve the education crisis: Pay students to go to schools. Check out this piece I wrote… ❤️ hechingerreport.org/opinion-…

How do you recruit talent for city gov’t when you’ve got thousands of vacancies? If you’re Boston’s Mayor @wutrain, you pitch the folks in the coffeeshop who are excited about the neighborhood work you’re doing to take a look at some of the openings you have! #ChiefTalentOfficer – at Boston, MA
