In solidarity with and celebrating the work of @swansea_bssc led by @Naya_Mee. Ward 7 BSSCs continue to create safe spaces promoting wellness and community for BIPOC students with caring adults. Offensive comments sent are the same anti-Black actions we must rid our schools of.

Why aren't Black staff & children protected swiftly? Why don't we have a Black DOE with a permanent role?
