Tonight, May 19th there will be a board meeting where board members have the opportunity to decide whether or not to hand over the mascot issue to the student body.
It’s important for the community to recognize that this issue cannot be handed over to Hart’s student body.

[Retire Hart’s Mascot! @RetireHHSMascot]

There has been little to no effort to educate the students fully on this issue, whereas the board has been involved in discussion for the past year.

At this meeting, public comments can be made IN PERSON. Read third slide with details. Link to watch the meeting in our bio.

Monday, April 26 there will be a community forum discussing Hart’s mascot. While Native voices have priority regarding this matter, it is imperative that ALL members of the SCV community show their support and demonstrate that we are open to change. (1/2)

Questions for current Hart students:
Do you think ALL Hart students are fully aware and adequately informed of the conversations/meetings that are happening with regards to the mascot? Was the “study session” accessible to student viewing?
