My Priorities to Build Bridges to Excellence in our Schools
* Accelerate implementation of Universal Pre-K
Research makes clear: the best advantage we can give our students to close the persistent achievement and opportunity gaps, is access to high quality pre-school education. But despite the urgency, especially for our low-income students, implementation of a systemic early childhood education program has been slow. I will ensure the needs of our earliest learners are given the attention they deserve. Access will not only better prepare our early learners for school, but it will also create opportunity for families to build the habit of engagement with teachers and their schools.
* Create a Partnership in STEAM Education
The greatest opportunity for our graduates is in the rapidly growing tech sector both locally and globally. A recent Massachusetts report identified 300,000 state jobs unable to be filled because applicants lacked the high-tech skills and training necessary to be competitive. Working with key stakeholders in our business community and at our local institutions, a STEAM Partnership would be key to capturing the internship and apprenticeship experience necessary for our students to pursue new career pathways and jobs.
* Make social and emotional learning (SEL) best practices common in every school
Research shows that students learn best when they feel safe, unstressed, and valued for who they are. But for some students, due to the home stresses they bring to school or a learning disability, school is an anxious, high stress environment. For these students, learning occurs best when they feel safe, trusted and valued. To do this well takes professional skill building, use of best practices to mitigate anxiety, and school-based compassion. Some schools have embraced more nurturing cultures, but this is not true district wide. As a member of the SEL Advisory Board, I will advocate for all principles to adopt this pedagogy of relational best practices and implement it building wide.
* Develop Resident Teacher Training Program
Research substantiates what our own student say: they feel most affirmed and receptive to learning when the teachers in front of them look like them and share their cultural experiences. But despite being a majority minority school district, only 15% of our teachers are a minority or a teacher of color. Our School Committee has set a goal of 30% without a plan for achieving this. When last on the School Committee, I began this work and will continue to conduct the outreach necessary to recruit and build the pipeline of talent our students deserve.

Cambridge’s Airbnb law is good for all of Massachusetts
By William D. Burns
Posted Aug 14, 2017 at 3:40pm in Cambridge Chronicle
Earlier this week, the Cambridge City Council voted to formally allow Cambridge residents to use their home - typically their greatest expense - to generate supplemental income to help pay for monthly expenses like rent, medical bills, and tuition for their children. Over 1,200 Cambridge residents have used Airbnb over the last year to make a little extra money while also expanding their own knowledge to new travelers and diverse cultures.
Just as you would not put a hammer to a screw, or a screwdriver to a nail, each city and country is economically, geographically and demographically unique. I commend Mayor Denise Simmons and the council for taking a thoughtful, collaborative approach to policy making, and for designing legislation that is uniquely suited for the city of Cambridge. Critical to that process was public input. Over the last year, hundreds of Airbnb hosts reached out to share their unique story and offer recommendations around a fair regulatory approach. They expressed their desire for an ordinance that was easy to understand and would encourage participation while still giving regulators the ability to go after bad actors.
Home sharing itself is centuries old, but home sharing on an online platform at a peak of one million guest arrivals per night and across the globe is new. Such new developments take time to figure out, and we appreciate the commitment of the city of Cambridge to getting this right rather than rush to regulate. Smart public policy will allow home sharing to achieve its potential as an economic, social and environmental solution - not just for the everyday people who take part in it - but for the cities and other governments that stand to benefit from it.
William D. Burns is director of public policy at Airbnb in Massachusetts.

Continuing Question: How will the turmoil in national politics trickle down to the local level and, in particular, how might it influence the Cambridge municipal election?
Speculation: After over a century of non-partisan Cambridge elections (a major tenet of "The Cambridge Idea" dating back to the late 1800s), there are indications that "Our Revolution", the Bernie Sanders-driven national entity and effectively an emergent political party separate from the Democratic Party, may back candidates in the 2017 Cambridge municipal election.
Aug 2 - The Election Commission voted to certify all nomination signatures submitted between July 27 and the July 31 deadline. All signatures for the 26 City Council candidates and 12 School Committee candidates are now certified and official.

July 20 - A group of at least 10 registered voters filed a petition to have a non-binding public opinion question placed on this year's municipal ballot asking if voters will approve of public financing for municipal elections. My personal opinion is that this lies somewhere between frivolous and an attempt to influence this year's City Council and School Committee elections. New candidates don't appear to be having any difficulty at all raising sufficient funds to run a credible campaign and they all have unlimited free access to social media. The Election Commission certified that the required minimum of 10 signatures were filed in support of this petition, and it now will be referred to the City Council and will (presumably) appear on the agenda for the August 7 Midsummer City Council meeting. The City Council can approve of it being placed on the November municipal election ballot, but that has to happen a minimum of 90 days prior to the Nov 7 election. The Council could also disapprove (or someone could presumably delay it via the Charter Right) which would then require the petitioners to instead gather the valid signatures of 10% of registered voters (about 6500 signatures) - a substantial task. They would also have to file the necessary paperwork with the state if they intend to raise or spend any money. The number of days between Aug 7 and Nov 7 is 92 days. The lead petitioner appears to be someone named Adam Strich who was photographed recently carrying a sign that says, in Arabic, "The people want to bring down the regime." Well, as long as we're clear about where the petitioners are coming from.
Here's the text of the petition:
We, the undersigned registered voters of Cambridge, Massachusetts, hereby petition the Cambridge City Council to include the following nonbinding public policy advisory question on the November 2017 ballot:
“Many Cantabrigians have expressed concern over what they perceive to be the undue influence of a few wealthy donors and special interest groups on municipal elections. Such concerns have the potential to erode the people's confidence in their elected officials and reduce civic engagement, thereby undermining the objectives of responsible government. In response to similar concerns, cities as diverse as Los Angeles, New York City, Portland (OR), Seattle, and New Haven have provided for the complete or partial funding of electoral campaigns. Although they typically require only a tiny fraction of a city's budget, these public-financing programs have nevertheless been shown to result in a more vibrant and democratic process. Would you be in favor of the City of Cambridge adopting such a program for elections to the City Council?”
Just in case you're interested in how this rather large number of candidates compares to past Cambridge PR elections, here's the whole history going back to 1941 (CC for number of City Council candidates and SC for number of School Committee candidates). Any significant write-in candidates are included in the totals.
