I have privileges afforded to me, not that I have earned, but that our society has bestowed based on the color of my skin. Many white people will never understand what it is like to live, work, go to school, and exist in a society that judges based on the color of our skin. 1/2

Both
@gardnerbarry8
and I are testifying this evening before the Senate Subcommittee on School Funding. We are advocating for an increase in funding for special education, EL students, CTE, and the complexity grant.
#wearewayne
Very proud of our
#wearewayne
community for making this possible. It was a school and community initiative that took great cooperation. You can see more about this initiative tonight on
@FOX59
.
NOW:
@WayneTwpSchools
bus drivers are out delivering THOUSANDS of breakfast & lunch meals. It’s an effort that will continue every day this week to nearly 1,000 locations.
Why do certain things happen? A question we sometimes ask and something we often don’t understand. Today we lost two elementary students to a very senseless accident. They and their parents have been added to my prayer list.

I can OFFICIALLY share that I have been selected for the 2022-23 cohort of the Fellowship for Public Education Leadership
@BroadCenter
. The program brings together senior public education leaders to further drive transformative results for students.
It is said that when a pet dies they cross the Rainbow Bridge. Today, at 3:15 p.m., Dr. Jennifer Glasgo and her team took away Lexi’s pain and ended her suffering. And tonight,

and I saw the Rainbow Bridge that will take Maple Ridge Alexis Jane home. Run free Lexi
"...it is a blatant attack on public schools, in an effort to privatize, it's also it's not about choice. It's not about serving students who are most vulnerable students of color. It's not, it's about taking care of wealthy families..."

I am a proud resident of WT. I love our schools,I love our community. We are better than this!! We must be supportive of each other and put aside all things that have worked to divide us. Let's model what we expect from our young people. Our children are watching!!

I love and am humbled by the generosity in

Students will not have school on Nov 19 as we support staff participation in Red For Ed Action Day to improve conditions for Indiana teachers as well as to advocate for our students, our schools, and our future. For more information:

However, I we MUST develop an equity lens that will help us become better human beings and end the institutional racism, bias, oppression, and bigotry that is pervasive in our society.

Several factors are making it difficult to bring students back to school on Wednesday, February 17 2021. As a result, we will NOT have school for ALL students Wednesday. Only designated staff will report. Please be safe and enjoy a second day in the snow!!
#wearewayne
I wonder about the logic that someone trained as a professional educator can not serve as a Board Member for an another school district. If we use the same logic, someone trained in business should not serve as a Board Member for any other business. Doesn’t make sense.
🧵 An amendment to HB 1130 under consideration Monday would ban teachers, or any other school employee, from serving on a school board anywhere in the state. The bill was up for a vote this week but in a rarely used move it was sent back to 2nd reading for further amendments.

The weather forecasters are busy tonight evaluating the incoming storm. I’ll be working with them tonight and in the early morning as we monitor multiple factors so we can make the most informed decision tomorrow morning.
