I want to close by reminding everyone to respond to the 2020 Census. — PolitiTweet.org

$4 million is set aside for formerly homeless tenants. Winning projects have to demonstrate diversity in the development team. And they must advance our goal of being a carbon-neutral city. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
Today, I can announce we are making $30 million available for affordable housing. Requests for proposals went out this week and we will be awarding projects in September. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We started the year with education and affordable housing as our top goals, and we have continued to move that work forward. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We are simply asking the federal government: in the midst of a pandemic, let us feed our children safely. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
The safe grab-and-go setup would have to change. Sites would no longer be open to all children. This would present a major logistical challenge. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
That waiver is set to expire on August 31. If it’s not extended, BPS will have to stop deliveries to students with disabilities and homeless families. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
The @USDA granted a waiver to allow Summer Meals to be served in safe ways---including Grab and Go sites and direct delivery to students’ homes. @BostonSchools is feeding tens of thousands of children--and needs to continue feeding them. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
The most fundamental need we have been serving, since #COVID19 arrived, is feeding children. That work is facing a challenge right now. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
Families where the adults are working can’t always help children stay engaged. Students learning English and students with disabilities depend on in-person support. Children living in shelter need a place to go. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
For the safety and wellbeing of our students, we have to start the year with that same focus on equity. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We’ve also seen the equity crisis play out, over many years, in our schools. That’s why we increased the @BostonSchools budget by $80 million this year, with a targeted focus on closing opportunity and achievement gaps. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We have two public health crises in #Boston. We have a #COVID19 pandemic and we have a crisis of race and equity. We’ve seen them intersect in the COVID numbers, and we’ve responded. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
The spring was a crisis-response; this fall will be more planned and more supported. We are planning and preparing to make both work. We are planning and preparing with the needs of our most vulnerable students in mind. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
Expanding technology and internet access; creating new outreach and support plans for families; developing solutions for Special Ed students and English learners; talking with child care providers about the role that they will be playing; and more. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
BPS is also working, right now, to strengthen remote learning: — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We are working with school leaders and facilities professionals to make sure every school is safe. We will not send students, teachers, or staff into buildings that are not safe. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
Whichever route we take in September, we are doing the work required now to make both remote learning and in-person school as safe and as effective as they can possibly be. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We’ll start with either a hybrid model or a period of all-remote learning. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I want to be clear about our priorities. Keeping everyone safe comes first. We will be guided by the science and the data, as we have been throughout this pandemic. We will not start the year with all in-person learning, because it’s not safe. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I know that people are anxious for a decision. Parents need time to make plans. Teachers need time to make plans. Everyone is rightly concerned about safety. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
The most important collective step before us is how to begin the year in @BostonSchools. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We know what to do, we’ve been doing it, and we’re going to keep doing it in every decision we make, for as long as it takes. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I am proud of the @CityofBoston and I know we can keep it going. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
You can go for walks, bike rides, and car rides. You can patronize a restaurant. You can check in on an elderly relative or neighbor. You can have fun, but we have to minimize the risk. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We can meet our need for social connection in ways that are safe. You can meet people in parks, in small groups and wear masks. You can go to a beach, if it’s not crowded. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
These are human needs, and many people are frustrated. But we have to be clear: it’s not time to let up. #COVID19 is still here. That’s our reality. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I understand that people want to get together. Young people want to go out. Families want to celebrate milestones. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
I support @MassGovernor’s move to reduce outdoor gathering limits from 100 to 50. In Boston, we had already limited outdoor events to 50 people since the beginning of Phase 3. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh
We have to keep washing our hands. We have to keep wearing face coverings outside our homes. We have to keep 6 feet from other people as much as possible. And we have to avoid large gatherings. — PolitiTweet.org
