This past 1/10 marked a year since the passing of my dear friend Tatiana Melguizo. I had planned so many ways to commemorate the day. In the end, I didn’t do anything. It was too sad & too soon. Then came the big February gutting of IES. A thread 🧵 (full version here: www.lsantibanez.com/thoughts)

And I'm now seriously concerned about what they can do with Dept of Ed funding. Particularly $ for IEPs and other services (ELs), and enforcing of those IEPs and services. Yes it costs $$$$ to educate and support children with special needs yet somehow it doesn't seem like DOGE cares much.

Just got an email from #IES to pause all work as a panel reviewer. Got another one about #NIH grants affecting our university. I guess this administration feels like destroying the world's best higher education system is a good use of their time.

In California, nearly 50% of all Black and Native American children had been investigated by Child Protective Services by their 18th birthday. 😲 That is an astounding number. A high proportion of reports (82%) come from mandated reporters, many of whom are Teachers. lao.ca.gov/handouts/soc... 🧵👇🏼
