Today, Yonkers Public Schools district leaders collaborated with the Center for Open Data Enterprise (CODE), We Collab, and the Bloomberg Center for Government Excellence (GovEx) for an interactive workshop focused on co-designing and implementing an Equity Intelligent Platform (EIP) .

This platform will help district and community partners understand and respond to student needs — driving equity, access, and success for all.

#YonkersPublicSchools is proud to be part of this opportunity. Together, we’ll leverage the power of data to better support boys and young men of color across Yonkers.

#YPSFlashbackFriday! Last week, Superintendent Soler had the privilege of serving as Co-Chair and panelist for this year’s College Board Annual Forum, which marked its 125th anniversary. 🎉

Superintendent Soler helped lead and plan this incredible event, which brought together educators and higher-ed partners. The panel focused on expanding opportunities for students and defining what true readiness looks like in an AI-driven world. He also shared key insights from a K–12 perspective.

Here’s to building even stronger pathways for students in the years ahead! 👏🎓✨
