Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : What my focus has been over the course of this campaign has been one that ensures every single public school, not just the specialized high schools, get the resources and support that they need to survive, that families can actually afford the city.
57% : The reality of this is that, as those opening words you cited say, this is part of a larger crisis of segregation here in our city.
56% : In 2022, you told the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club, "I support measures to integrate our public schools and fully fund our education system, including the abolition of the SHSAT."
56% : This year, you told city and state, "Maintain the SHSAT as the exclusive test for all of the eight schools where it's currently used for admission."
