Thank you for sharing. I'm trying to get as much attention as possible on this petition before the board of trustees tables their budget

Focus on what you can control. It feels much less helpless. I rarely ever get involved with federal politics, but have been doing my best to volunteer for as many campaigns as I can. Talking to people about their votes is concrete and can create an actual change.

A lot of people need time to build up their moral courage muscles.

Scientifically you only need 3.5% of a population engaging in nonviolent protest to make a significant social change. They're pretty much there.

EPSB made a commitment 5 years ago to phase out the use of seclusion, and yet no plan or date to end use is in place.

Accountability for wrongdoing and justice for marginalized groups is part of celebrating them. Time to do that work. 3/3

Instead of correcting course on this, EPSB has continually targeted autistic students, spending 100s of 1000s building seclusion rooms each year just for them.

EPSB has also perpetuated stereotypes used against these students to justify the over use of seclusion during public board meetings. 2/3

Appointing an interim would make way more sense.

With 3 seats empty, should this board even be allowed to hire a new superintendent? Do they have a mandate to do that so small in number?

Any small win is a win

Thanks for sharing and for helping!!
