“With a new day comes new strength and new thoughts.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt
CHANGE IS NEVER EASY
THE FIRST THING A SCHOOL BOARD CAN do to advance DEI initiatives is to set policy. Like any new guidelines, the next step is always communication. Jay Worona of NYSSBA and Jackie Burton of Concordant Communications, two of the panelists at Clarifying the Culturally Responsive Framework, WPSBA's October 14th webinar, will share some examples of policy and communications you can adapt for your own district (so don't forget to sign up through your district clerk).
CALIFORNIA DID IT.... COULD WE BE NEXT?
CALIFORNIA STEPS UP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19 by requiring that all students (public and private) be vaccinated. The mandate didn't go into effect that day, however, there is a phase-in plan that stretches through the whole school year. Also, when you look at the details, they didn't close all the loopholes, qualifying allowances for opt-outs and full FDA approval.
FROM ASIA TO NORTH AMERICA
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TELLING THAN A picture. Clearly, being comfy is not the priority as children around the world settle into the third school year disrupted by the pandemic. This series of pics shows the different conditions students have come back to throughout the globe - proof positive that no one has been left unaffected by COVID-19.
