School Board School

“Everyone is stranded.” That’s how one researcher described the impact of the Trump administration’s canceling critical education contracts that support everything from work to build principal pipelines to research around student mental health and chronic absenteeism. We need everyone who cares about public education to take action, like calling your Congresspeople. What other actions are you taking at the federal level? Put them in the comments so we can learn from each other. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gEcra4RK

At School Board School, we believe that every student, staff member, and family in our community should feel safe and welcomed in our public schools and that our school systems should be designed equitably to ensure that every child reaches their potential. Right now, this work is more important than ever, and we need as many people as possible to join us in this fight for our public schools.

What’s your role in creating school systems where every child can thrive? That’s the question the members of Cincinnati Class 6 set out to answer when they started our learning program in August. This past Saturday, during their last session, they reflected deeply on how they’ve grown– individually and as a collective- and solidified the specific roles and actions they each plan to take to build more just and equitable school systems. Many thanks to Kelly Harris Perin from Little Bites Coaching, LLC for guiding us through this important work. Want to find out how you can help with the work the members of Class 6 are taking on?

That’s why, like Rome says, we’re “educating change-makers… and giving them tools to make a difference in their community.” But, we can’t continue to offer all of our programming free of charge without your support.

If we told you that elementary school-aged kids could run their own coffee shop, would you believe us? Well, every week, the students at Pleasant Ridge Montessori build life and job skills at the Coffee Cup Cafe. As the Pitch Night panel runner-up, Ruth Anne Wolfe and Tyler Chernesky will have the opportunity to expand their student-run coffee shop to more CPS schools, giving even more students hands-on experiences in entrepreneurship, while building real-world skills. Want to try this idea at your school? Check out their pitch here: https://buff.ly/43ai0ii

We know that the people closest to a problem should be the ones driving the solution. That’s why at Education Policy Pitch Night, the audience gets to vote on what idea they believe is needed in our community. This year’s audience vote winner was Brian Carlson, Angela Houston, Chandra Hyman, and Michael Wilson’s idea to administer a mental health screening for all students in order to proactively provide support.
