The decision to pay 3rd parties instead of working with @215studentunion or @YUCphilly gives the game away: This about lawyers, not students #phled
Hite on metal detector vote: we're committed to using metal detectors to keep #PHLed kids safe, not in a way that marginalizes them. Will work with 3rd parties and develop training so everyone who uses the detectors does so with best practices in mind.

Innocent until proven guilty? 70% of people in prison have NOT been convicted of a crime but can’t pay the bail. Why did #KaliefBrowder spend 3 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit? Why does freedom have a price tag? #EndCashBail & follow @playercoalition

Yesterday I walked with teachers who talked about these inhumane conditions. District needs a plan for these buildings, and I’ll be reaching out to District leadership about it. @CaucusofWE @PFTLocal3
Annnd, this #PhlEd classroom is 90 degrees at 7:15 AM. Somebody in the press, please get a temp reading at @SDPHite's office! Or at least 440 in general, @GregNWindle @newskag @HelenGymAtLarge

Would the oppressive building conditions that closed schools early nearly every day so far in this young #PHLed term be OK in the suburbs? No way, writes my colleague @MikeNewall: www2.philly.com/philly/colum…

NEVER in my 13 yrs teaching have I heard this many 9thgraders say they ‘hate school’ & ‘want to leave’ by the 6th day of class. NEVER. @SDPHite @PhillyMayor @HelenGym2015 @newskag Our building conditions are ruining my students’ usual love of learning. #phled

.@jerrytjordan calls on the state to fund facilities investments and outlines some of the conditions our youth and educators have endured since school opening this year. Conditions in Dunbar are sweltering. #phled

The conditions in our schools are unacceptable. Our students and educators deserve safe and healthy learning environments. We’re at Dunbar this afternoon calling attention to what our school communities are experiencing. #phled

These extreme conditions put the actual safety and health of our children and the adults who support them on the line. It’s unacceptable. #PHLed

This is a public health crisis. Extreme temps trigger asthma, which is 2x more common in Black children. Extreme temps are dangerous for children who sweat less effectively and dehydrate easily. We need action to keep our children and #PHLed educators and staff safe.
