A Texas woman is accusing her sons’ school district of failing to condemn racism after she says they were subjected to anti-Asian American taunts on the bus, and her older boy had a swastika drawn on his shirt last year. https://t.co/rDZSKYIc6u

"There are some people who think that the answer to school violence is to get the bad kids out of school, but our data shows that teachers don't think that works," @Eanderman said. "Other research supports that view.", from https://t.co/ngCxJA3ZM1

@TaisonBell Whoohoo! Congrats!

From Allen to Monterey to Half Moon Bay to Atlanta, gun violence continues to devastate our communities, with 4 Asian Americans tragically killed in the latest shooting. We cannot stay silent. Gun violence is an AAPI issue that must be addressed now. #StopAAPIHate #GunReformNow

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

Four of the Texas shooting victims were Asian. Most were people of color. And three were children. The shooter—with alleged neo-Nazi ties—left at least 8 dead and 7 wounded. There are no words to describe the devastating impacts of hate in this moment. https://t.co/3WqdepCSIE

This is devastatingly important to read, if you can.

After receiving a $133 million donation from Mackenzie Scott last year, @CISNational is getting another major investment: $165 million from the Ballmer Group.

The donation will allow the organization to extend its programming to 1,000 new majority-low-income schools in the U.S.

In partnership with @MDRC_News, we're excited to share our latest publication, “Reconnecting Students to Education Pathways: Learning from the Communities In Schools (CIS) Reengagement Coordinator Initiative." Check it out: https://t.co/vAuW2CNEcs #AllinforKids

[MDRC @MDRC_News]

NEW!

Schools have long struggled to reengage students who have poor attendance or drop out—a situation only exacerbated by the pandemic.

In 2021, @CISNational introduced the Reengagement Coordinator Initiative, aimed at reengaging high school students. https://t.co/C4j4QEF47D

[Communities In Schools @CISNational]

#RequestForProposals: CIS national is embarking on an ambitious strategy to help school districts scale a model of Integrated Student Supports. We are seeking proposals for a third-party evaluation to determine impact – see here for more information:

A sad story to report: An 18-year-old Indiana University student was stabbed repeatedly in the head while riding a public bus in an apparent racist attack. The suspect indicated to a police investigator that she targeted the student because she’s Asian.

To make matters worse, customers can currently order the product in question, which is falsely listed as in-stock on their website. @ContactsDirect
👎🏼👎🏼 to their business model, supply chain, and customer service.

[Betty Li Simpson @BettyLiSimpson]

🚩Contacts-wearers, beware! 🚩#DYK that @ContactsDirect has no contacts inventory? This means they’ll accept & confirm your order w/ shipping in 7-10 biz days and hold your money & insurance benefits. When you haven’t received a shipping notification and call them to inquire …

[Betty Li Simpson @BettyLiSimpson]

but if (like me) you used your 2022 benefits allowance, you're out of luck… because you trusted @ContactsDirect to complete and deliver your product order as advertised and now it's 2023. @Luxottica @BauschLomb @EyeMedVision @Aetna
