Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
How does Mike Bloomberg feel about education and teachers?
For those trying to insist that Bloomberg doesn't care about teachers or minority students, see this:
Mike’s Record on Career & Technical Education
Mike’s reform policies led to a 42% increase in graduation rates in New York City public schools, with African-American and Hispanic students making the biggest gains.
Mike doubled the education budget and gave a 43% raise to teachers, because he believes in paying teachers well and recruiting and retaining the best.
Mike’s national College Point program has connected 66,000 high-achieving, lower-income high school students to free college counseling.
Mike created 126,000 additional classroom seats and opened 654 new schools.
When Mike started as mayor, none of the top 25 elementary or middle schools in the state were in New York City. When he finished, 22 of the top 25 schools in the state were in New York City.
