John,

On Monday, Mike started his day at the Harlem Children's Zone Promise
Academy, reading to kindergarteners and talking with seniors about their higher
education ambitions. Then he spent his evening hearing from graduates of
Success Academy who are pursuing their dreams after getting a great education.

For years, Harlem Children's Zone and Success Academy have offered their
students -- who are primarily from low-income households and students of color
-- excellent K-12 educations that help prepare them for success after
graduation. Now they will have a chance to create opportunities for even more
children.

At both stops on Monday, Mike announced $100 million investments for each of
these leading public charter school programs to expand their incredible work in
New York City -- and raise the bar for public education everywhere.

Learn more about the announcement, and Mike's ongoing focus on advancing a
stronger, more equitable, and more modern model of public education.

The $200 million investment will help the two leading charter schools build on
their successful efforts to close the achievement gap for thousands of students
from low-income families, and better enable them to respond to pandemic-related
learning loss.

"Over the past two years of school closures and remote instruction, the
crisis in public education has grown even worse, especially for low-income
students who were already falling behind," said Mike, announcing the new
investments. "Expanding access to high-quality charter schools has never been
more important, and our foundation is going to do our part."

These philanthropic investments build on Mike’s mayoral leadership where he
made improving public education a top priority because he understood that a
high-quality school is the best anti-poverty program yet invented.
