Overnight snow = teachers, bus drivers, & families likely experienced some white knuckles on today's commute. Give yourselves the gift of a pick-me-up! Check out this ingenious “peptoc tipline” out of an elementary school in rural California. utahraiseyourhand.org/post/p…

#NAEP national state & district-level scores for 4 & 8 in #math & #reading were released. The results are low, but not surprising, given #COVID19. Let's commit to investing in #education efforts that will accelerate #student learning edtrust.org/p/60786 #schoolboards

Widespread engagement is essential for School Boards to act as intended. Ask those running to represent you how they will be open and deliberate in making decisions that impact all of their constituents. utahraiseyourhand.org/post/s…

A must-read from @CC_Utah . NOW is the time to learn about school board races in your area. Get involved and be a voice for each and every student, family, teacher, and school in your community. compassioncoalitionutah.org/… #schoolboards #uted

Exactly! The core function of school boards is to ensure that children and youth are educated well - given viable options for success in adulthood. Kids deserve the best leadership we can give!!!
WATCH: “It’s hard to believe that we are talking about board members’ personality conflicts when a majority of kids in @DPSNewsNow can’t read or do math at grade level.” @CBS4Shaun via @CBSNewsColorado cbsnews.com/colorado/news/de… #edcolo #copolitics

Local School Boards have a duty to seek out widespread community engagement. This means actively listening to voices that aren’t loud. #families #schools #Students #schoolboards @kmhoriuchi @kellie_holm_may @laura_lgski123 @BlueinUtah
The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes. You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion. Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.

Advocating for children doesn’t stop just because its campaign season. I’m in Washington D.C. with 16 other moms and dads talking to our federal delegation about mental health, child nutrition, and school safety! #passionatepreparedparentvoice
