Our Philadelphia Schools face a $300 million structural deficit. Without help, 340 school jobs — teachers, counselors, climate staff that help keep schools safe - will be eliminated. As Mayor, I cannot stand by and let that happen. That is why I’m proposing a $1 per ride rideshare tax... show more

"How dare you!" Democrat Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker rips critics of a plan to tax rideshare companies as her city faces a $300 million budget deficit. An Uber spokesperson said the proposal is a "consumer tax" that will be passed on to riders and make the service more expensive.

I want to speak directly to San Francisco’s public-school parents and our students. I know many of you are worried about the possibility of a teacher strike that could temporarily close schools—and I want you to hear this clearly from me: our kids come first. As mayor, even though I don’t oversee our school district, I’m deeply committed to making sure our kids get a world-class education—with safe public schools where kids can learn and educators are well supported. It is crucial that our schools remain open. Every day in the classroom matters. I have been in regular contact with both the school district and the teachers union, and I am urging them to keep talking so kids can keep learning. Our working parents can’t afford to stay home if schools are closed. Our special needs students can’t afford to lose access to vital services that help them succeed. Schools are the foundation that makes daily life possible and helps every family in San Francisco thrive. I am also actively working with city departments to ensure we have options for our students in the event that classrooms do close. But I want to make one thing clear—what is best for our students is for the adults to continue discussions at the table so we can keep kids in the classroom. I will continue pushing for solutions that keep our schools open and our students learning. San Francisco’s families deserve nothing less.

As a way to "address" violence and mental health issues in schools, the gov has allocated $30 million for surveillance cameras. Apparently, our schools are supposed to watch on video as students, teachers, and ed workers get attacked without being able to do anything about it.

Just weeks after creating a $50 million tax credit for private schools, the state shut down a $30 million grant program that helped public school students pay for laptops, school supplies, tutoring and other expenses:

We’re headed to Springfield today with a clear message: stop protecting billionaires and start funding our schools. If there is money for tax breaks, then there should be plenty of money for classrooms. Educators are mobilizing to pass legislation to tax the rich, and fully fund Illinois schools. Because our students should be the priority, not an afterthought.

With a surplus of $32.7 billion, #Texas has the resources to fully fund our public schools. #Republicans like Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott wish to defund our public schools with a voucher scheme that only benefits a few thousand kids at the expense of millions. We have the resources to pay our teachers well, provide schools with technology, and make sure teachers don’t have to dig into their own pocket to support their students. Schools are underfunded, not under-served. #txlege #TxEd #TogetherWeThrive #TXAFTConvention

Rachel Reeves’ budget is a disaster for schools. There will be a 1.7% cut to school per pupil funding, according to the OBR. This is a slap in the face for schools & will mean more teachers’ jobs on the line.

Summer’s heating up, but know that our schools are keeping their cool! Our schools have air conditioning to keep students safe and comfortable. Every day counts, and this time of year is full of learning, celebration, and milestones that your child will not want to miss.

Ontario's schools need more adults. We need more EAs and more educators in our schools to keep students safe and help them learn. Children in Grade 6 were in Kindergarten when the Ford government took office. EQAO scores are on their watch, and this government is failing our kids. That is why Ontario-Liberals are calling on the Ford government to invest $1 billion in new education funding so boards can hire the staff students rely on every day. Students should not have to pay the price for underfunding. It is time to give them the support they deserve.

.Greg Abbott’s inaction has cost Leander ISD over $34 million dollars this school year. Teachers and students are suffering — we don’t need a voucher scam — we need a real investment in our public schools. I have 34 million new reasons to fight Greg Abbot’s voucher scam.

Our tax system is rigged, people with money pay half the rate of tax of people with jobs. A wealth tax would be a start and it's worth pointing out, it would only affect 20,000 people out of 60 million, and they (we) would only pay 2% on anything over 10 million pounds. It would generate £24 billion a year - which could fund so many things we badly need.

Violence in schools is never acceptable… period. Every time this government invests in student safety, the NDP has voted NO - that’s over $220M in supports for student safety initiatives that they’ve voted against, that go towards protecting students and teachers in schools. Under the leadership of Premier Ford, it’s our government that will continue to make key investments that help ensure schools are a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and grow.

Mamdani: PTET is essentially a loophole that allows high-income earners to reduce their federal tax burden. Who benefits? Millionaires and multimillionaires. More than 95% of PTET credits go to those making more than $1 million a year. More than 80% go to those earning more than $5 million a year. The PTET, in short, is a tax cut for the rich. We are not calling to eliminate the credit. We are instead asking the state for a modest reduction from 100% to 75%—that change alone will generate nearly $1 billion in additional revenue, revenue we can invest in buses that carry New Yorkers to work, the public schools that educate our children, and the public parks and beaches where we spend our summers.

Rep. @GinaForAustin: This voucher scam is "a billion dollars that could go to a $3,000, $4,000 pay raise for teachers." Why should Texans be expected to fund private school tuition for millionaires and billionaires when our neighborhood schools are in crisis? #txlege

Real Texans support public schools. Our neighborhood #txed schools are the only schools that are a right for 5.5 million kids—so shouldn’t we fully fund them and make them the best choice? Texas fought for a PUBLIC system of education. That’s the fight today. #txlege

More Jobs for Our Working Families We’ll further build on our strong economy, grow jobs, and launch local skill-building programs so Virginians can build their future here at home.

I’ve visited countless schools, I know Alberta teachers work hard. Our offer hires 3,000 new teachers and provides a 12 percent raise, over 4 years, giving them the highest take home pay in western Canada, so students get better access to their teachers and greater support in class. It is a real plan that puts help in classrooms now. We hope the ATA says yes so we can deliver this for students, families, and teachers this year.
