While the vast majority of New York’s students are served by traditional public schools, we are committed making sure EVERY child in New York City can secure a quality education that prepares students for career and college. If we’re going to educate our children for the 21st century, we must not divide parents and children in this discussion. It’s time for all leaders and stakeholders to unite around common goals and a strong public policy that lifts up every student. Latest on Charters & Co-Location: · New York City made decisions based on sound public policy and what’s best for our schools and students. · The mayor and his team inherited 45 colocations proposals for this coming September that were rushed through in the final days of the past administration. Because of the hasty manner of these original approvals, the mayor and his team needed to act quickly to determine if these were all good ideas. · The mayor and his team were determined to do right by all students, and we set up objective criteria to make sure children weren’t harmed because of these decisions. · The objective criteria were simple. o No elementary schools opening on high school campuses o No colocations that create very small schools (under 250) that cannot provide range of support needed to serve our students effectively o No colocations that require heavy construction o We will not reduce District 75 seats – special education. Will not disadvantage those kids in need. · In all, the mayor’s team approved 36 of the 45 total colocation proposals because working with school communities, those plans could be implemented responsibly. · Nine proposals were declined because they did not meet these smart, common sense standards. · Contrary to some of the news reports, 14 of 17 charter proposals were approved, and 5 out of 8 proposals were approved from the Success Academy network. · Two colocations were declined because they would have put an elementary school into a high school campus. This is a bad education policy that doesn’t work for either population of kids because it doesn’t enable shared resources such as AP classes or a library. No students were impacted by these two decisions because these schools have not had their lotteries yet. · A third colocation that was declined at PS149 would have reduced enrollment for special education students already going to school at there — kids with serious disabilities that our system has too often let down. · We are here to serve ALL of our kids. · And just like we won’t approve a colocation that will hurt special needs students at a traditional public school, we won’t turn our backs on the children who were planning to attend this charter school prior to this decision. We are working to find space for the kids at Success Academy 4 because we know that every child, every student is our charge. · And we are working cooperatively with a number of charters right now on a range of shared priorities. · This administration is committed to working with all parents, educators and stakeholders to ensure that every single one of New York’s 1.1 million students receives a great education.

Dear Diary, Valentine’s Day was not, to say the least, always a favorite holiday of mine. There were some years when I would call in sick to school on it. “Mom, I’ve got . I’ve got that tall-guy nauseous thing . Kyle was telling me about it—you, uh, get it after you get a growth spurt,” I told her one year, and then I hid under the covers reading my Batman comics the whole day. I just wasn’t the romantic sort of guy at that age. I was a foot taller than all the other dudes, and my jump shot was garbage. If you’re gangly and tall in your teens and not a basketball star, you’re basically hopeless. Everything changed when I got to college, though. I was dating a girl whom I really liked and I took her to this Italian place my mom had recommended (What? This is my diary—if I can’t be honest here, then where?) and then we saw a movie (I don’t even remember which one, which tells you how well the date was going :D). That was the confidence boost I needed. My Valentine’s Day celebrations with Chirlane have been pretty low-key. We’re not really your seven-course-dinner and horse-and- carriage-ride kind of couple, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise (hmmm, maybe should have used imagery other than horse- and-carriage there!). We went bowling a few years ago. One time, Chirlane went to some poetry retreat and straight up didn’t even realize she wouldn’t be home for Valentine’s Day. It was fine! I made cannolis with Dante and Chiara instead. We’ve never put much stock in the Hallmark brand of gooeyness; we’d rather eat out of a clay pot our daughter made in art class than on some fancy china, ya catch my drift? This year, though, I decided to really try and be a romantic, for once, to channel my inner Mario Lopez. (I met that guy once, and was very impressed; his skin really glistens.) I arranged for a helicopter ride over the city, and I rented out our favorite local spot for the night, for dinner, with the chef on retainer to make whatever Chirlane wished. And then I had a book made of all of her sketches from the past decade. (She’s always sketching . she’s just overteeming with creative spirit, that woman). It’s been an intense two years. I felt like she deserved to be really pampered for a night. I wanted to do something special. On Valentine’s Day, though, I got an e-mail from my press team. “You know that feature Chirlane’s doing for The New York Times Magazine?” it started. (My first thought was that somehow Chirlane was breaking up with me via magazine profile—the late hours of this job will make a man insane, and ever since getting back from Iowa, I haven’t been able to sleep.) “Well, it’s out, and the photos are . interesting. You might want to take a look.” I clicked immediately on the attachment: the first photo I saw looked fine, it was the two of us gazing into each other’s eyes. In the second, though, my head was, well, cropped off at the middle. I wrote back to my aide, “Hey, I think this is funny! It’s fine! It’s just a joke about how I’m tall, right?” But then I started to think about it some more. Was it a joke about me being tall? Or was there more to it? Was the photo editor trying to make some kind of point about our relative merits? Was there a joke at my expense embedded in here? I started having tremors remembering the New York Magazine cover, in which I was miniaturized to about a twentieth of the page. What was it with these magazine people and manipulating my image? No one ever messed with Bloomberg like this! Do I really give people the idea that they can do whatever they like to my face and I’ll just laugh it off?!?!? And, if so, that’s maybe not a bad trait for a person to have, but for a mayor!??! I went into Chirlane’s office, where she was grinning broadly in a way I had frankly never seen before. She said, “Did you see these photos of us?!? I love them. I just had my person tweet them!” I just nodded, solemnly. “Yeah,” I said. “I saw them.” “I think I want to blow them up, like poster-sized, and hang them in the house.” “Oh, uh, maybe . sure, sure.” She looked up. “So, what do you want to do tonight, for Valentine’s Day?” There was a part of me, a part I didn’t particularly like but had to acknowledge nevertheless, that, despite what my head was saying, despite my better instincts, hesitated.

Munich. MS Amlin Andretti driver Robin Frijns (NED) scored back-to- back points finishes in the first New York City ePrix (USA), watched on by celebrities including Chris Hemsworth, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. The Dutch driver claimed ninth place in both races, perfectly managing his energy usage. António Félix da Costa (POR) was unfortunate to miss the points despite showing strong pace and running in the top-ten for extended periods. He took 12th place in the first, and 15th following a drive-through penalty in the second race of the New York City ePrix. Saturday’s Race The first FIA-sanctioned motor race in the “Big Apple” was a thriller, with action throughout the field on every lap. Starting in 16th and 18th positions respectively, the MS Amlin Andretti drivers Robin Frijns and António Félix da Costa successfully navigated a chaotic opening lap to run just outside the top ten. Frijns was able to run an extra lap in the first stint, and the strategy paid off. He was in prime position in the closing laps when the Qualcomm Safety Car BMW i8 was deployed to allow marshals to recover a stranded car.

  • First Ever New York City Eprix Beckons for BMW and MS Amlin Andretti This Weekend
    Media Information FIA Formula E Championship 12th July 2017 First ever New York City ePrix beckons for BMW and MS Amlin Andretti this weekend. • Formula E is the only FIA-sanctioned series to race in the city. • Skyline of Manhattan to provide unique backdrop for motor racing. • Félix da Costa and Frijns to chase points in home race for MS Amlin Andretti team. Munich. One day after the announcement that BMW is to join the FIA Formula E Championship as official manufacturer from Season 5 (2018/19), preparations are running flat out for two truly special races on this year’s calendar: New York City will host rounds 9 and 10 of the FIA Formula E Championship, on 15th and 16th July. The all-electric races, where BMW works driver António Félix da Costa (POR) and Robin Frijns (NED) will compete with BMW supported MS Amlin Andretti cars, headline the first major motor racing event ever to take place in the Big Apple. The Challenge The United States has hosted Formula E races in previous years, but this season New York takes centre stage. The circuit is located in Red Hook, Brooklyn, alongside the Hudson River, with the classic Manhattan skyline providing the scenery. The MS Amlin Andretti team will look to return to the points in America – home race for the Andretti team – after a tough race in Germany. Félix da Costa and Frijns have both scored points during the season, mostly recently Frijns’ top-six score in Paris (FRA), and hard work between races aims to ensure further progress in New York City.

  • Carpenters and Allies Protest Across U.S. and Canada Against Costly Epidemic of Construction Industry Tax Fraud
    United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) Matt Capece Special Representative to the General President For Media Inquiries: Justin Weidner [email protected] For immediate release – April 16, 2019 Carpenters and Allies Protest Across U.S. and Canada Against Costly Epidemic of Construction Industry Tax Fraud Washington, D.C. – Regional councils affiliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) held over 100 events in the U.S. and Canada April 13 – 15, protesting against the costly epidemic of construction industry tax fraud. “But this isn’t just a problem for the construction industry,” said Frank Spencer, General Vice President of the UBC. “We’re exposing the growing problem of fraud in our industry because it impacts everyone.” The UBC’s best estimate, based on studies done at the state level, is that the underground economy (which includes the amount of wages paid to workers off the books) in the construction industry amounts to some $148 billion in the U.S. The lost state and federal income and employment taxes add up to $2.6 billion. According to Statistics Canada, the residential construction industry is the largest contributor to the underground economy there, accounting for just over a quarter of the total, or $13.7 billion. “During our Tax Fraud Days of Action, thousands of carpenters were joined by allies and elected officials,” said Spencer. “We all spoke in a unified voice to declare that basic employment and tax laws need to be enforced for the welfare of workers, responsible employers and all taxpayers.” “I’m sure most of us would prefer to see missing tax revenues properly collected and put to work building better roads, bridges and schools,” Spencer said.
