Fayette County Public Schools, Fayetteville GA’s Post

Nazareth ISD and The Lottery - In this piece, I explain how Nazareth ISD has abandoned its duty to educate a fifth grade child at grade level, but rather insisting she retake fourth grade, all the while promoting students who failed to master the material - all because she refuses to take the Texas STAAR. Enjoy.

For 30 years, Children's Defense Fund has held the Ella Baker Child Policy Training Institute to prepare hundreds of college-aged young people to teach CDF Freedom Schools® curriculum at our program sites across America. This year's national training welcomes more than 1,500 youth advocates. On Thursday, CDF Vice President and Chief Program Officer Sheri Brady joined with Denise Dean, executive vice president of East Tennessee Freedom Schools, to appear on WATE-TV's Living East Tennessee with Veronica Ogbe and Amber Lynn Carroll. Brady and Dean discussed a public demonstration Children’s Defense Fund has planned to protect the freedom to read in Tennessee and across the country. "Reading is fundamental and it's really important to actually engage students and a lot of time if students don't see themselves in the stories they read, they won't read,” Brady said. “So, it's really important they have books they can relate to and understand." The event, which will also feature a march through downtown Knoxville, is also meant to bring attention to the proliferation of book bans across the country. Such methods of censorship have proven harmful to young people. "I talk to families in two ways about books,” Dean said. “So, our books are mirrors that reflect us, our cultures, the stories that are familiar to us, but they're also windows; windows into other cultures, other lifestyles and other people. So, whereas the mirrors are affirming for the children, the windows allow them to have greater understanding and empathy that allow them to deal with people who are different than them in a healthy way." https://lnkd.in/ePDt-N9q

Attention California parents! Did you know that up to $1,500 is available to low income, foster, and/or homeless kids in grades K-12 attending public schools in the state? That's right! This money can be used towards college savings and is waiting for up to 3.6 million eligible kids. However, only 350,000 parents have claimed their kids' accounts so far. Don't let this opportunity slip away! For many families in marginalized communities, this sum of money is a fortune, and it could be the jump start that kids need to become happier and wealthier adults. Studies show that college graduates make an average of $1,000,000 more over their lifetime than those with only a high school diploma. Moreover, owning a college fund with at least $500 makes a child 3x more likely to attend college and 4x less likely to drop out. So, if you know anyone who is from a low-income household with grade school kids, please encourage them to sign up at www.calkids.org. Remember, sometimes all a kid needs is a little lift.

California's public school facilities need our support now more than ever. Equitable funding is crucial to ensure that every child, regardless of their zip code, has access to safe, modern, and effective learning environments. It's time to fundamentally change how school facilities are funded so that all students have access to the facilities they need and deserve to focus on their education. California students urgently need school facility funding from the state to modernize outdated and unsafe facilities. We must pass an education bond this year because there are billions of dollars in unmet needs. In moving forward with a much-needed education bond, however, it is crucial that our state legislature and the Newsom administration first fix the inequitable and unconstitutional system of school facility financing in California. Currently, low-wealth districts receive far less in state facility funding per student compared to their higher wealth counterparts ($7,000 vs. over $300,000)—even though they have greater modernization needs from compounded disinvestment from the state, and less ability to raise local funds.
