There’s more to being part of a community than simply where you live.
Hoodline examined the city's past week on Twitter, focusing on users that are dedicated to community life — things like parks, animals, healthy living and education. Our goal was to uncover and write about the things that drove your social media discussions around those topics.
Schools
The quality of the schools matters to everyone in the city, whether they have children there or not.
Albuquerque witnessed approximately the same volume of Twitter conversations on the subject of schools last week compared with the previous week.
Despite that, some local tweets did get attention locally. Here's an example, from @ABQschools:
Fiona Kilgore of Albuquerque High, Kioshi Morosin of CEC, and and Kentren Yeh of La Cueva HS with Gov. Lujan Grisham. The three Superintendent Student Advisory Committee representatives attended a meeting of the Economic Forum of Albuquerque as guests of Superintendent Raquel Reedy. https://t.co/sE7tJ6o5Vg
