I absolutely love how much we are talking about full-service community model schools today! This is easily my favorite model of schooling. Providing those wraparound services for families can be life changing! #EggsandIssues25

Natalia Mejia brought tears to my eyes recounting her students and their parents’ fears about ICE. All children in NC have a constitutional right to a good public education - and allowing ICE in schools threatens that right. What can we do to protect our students? #EggsandIssues25

Hearing from an educator now about the fear that is being created by allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement into our schools.

She is talking about how she had to tell families that the school was no longer a safe space for all families.

Now we’re getting to hear directly from students on how community schools have positive impacts on student success!

As one student said, the community school model ensures communities are invested in their schools which expands their access to opportunities!

Students with AND without insurance can be seen there, and uninsured patients have access to a sliding-scale fee.

Easy access to medical care like this is going to ensure people are getting the preventative care they need, as well as care if they’re already ill.
