Just saw on a news station saying Cuomo is making his decision this week or soon on schools. They interviewed the president of the UFT and he says let's remember school isn't closed just the building BUT everyone is so quick to say open the schools but nobody has a plan for the students teachers and bus drivers as far as social distancing when it comes to lunch and in the halls so there needs to be a plan before you make any decision to open them up

Was that the chancellor?

Fun Fact: Carranza is a Mariachi Musician. Really.

Hmm ... something fishy here. As pointed out on a Facebook post by PIST NYC, even if the meeting had continued yesterday, bus contracts would NOT have been on the agenda because between the original meeting date of 4/22 and the date it was postponed to, 4/29, bus contracts were WITHDRAWN from the agenda.


April 22 agenda

April 29 agenda

And if you add up the amounts, they total about $136,400,000 ... NOT the $700 million they talk about in the papers.  Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Based on that last news article I hope 1181 puts out a message to all members soon.  I'd like to hear from Cordiello before I get a message from Neil.

Regarding the Daily News article, here's a quote that might be a glimmer of hope:

" Education Department spokeswoman Danielle Filson said the contracts were pulled from Wednesday night's agenda so the city could "take the extra time necessary to review these contracts in light of the City's current financial situation."

Also, no letters have gone out yet, as they claim. Today is a possibility. We'll know one way or another by the end of the day.

Will we at least no today if we need to claim unemployment for last week ?  This absolutely sucks but if we need to claim UI benefits there would no break in the claim started for Easter week.
