Update: NHCS’ board of Ed passed the Student Voice policy unanimously 7-0. I am ecstatic and so proud of these students’ commitment, persistence, and vision for inclusivity, problem solving, & overall hopeful policy.

I am looking for public school districts that have Offices of Equity that have provided updates or presentations to their school boards. Special pref for anywhere you know the work is being done authentically &/or is well established. TIA for any assistance, insight, or RT!

This is what it looks like to be about #studentvoice! District leaders in @AbbotsfordSD seated listening to student teams present their change visions, rooted in #streetdata gathered from peers, with loving accountability for adults. #EquityTransformationCycle @JamilaDugan

Momentum is building around the #AmericanTeacherAct (H.B. 882) which now has 50 co-sponsors and 81 endorsers! This bill is putting real action behind the belief that teachers deserve higher wages. More details in this article from @USATODAY; https://t.co/JvyUXzj8bn

@ncpublicschools @CTruittNCDPI I noticed the app asks if the applicant would have transportation to Raleigh. Is this a requirement?

What if our students’ voices were a primary measure for “success” & “achievement” in educational spaces?

Thankyou @NCEDmatters @theNCForum for your intentionality on this topic. Once again, I learn from and am inspired by them.
