??Publication Alert?? Fellow Sarah Nichols was published in the @thesaltlaketribune yesterday. The opinion piece by Sarah Nichols emphasizes the importance of shared governance in Salt Lake City schools, highlighting its role in empowering educators to influence educational decisions that best serve students. We loved this quote: "In an era where people are concerned about controversial groups and bad actors infiltrating education, shared governance gives a name and a face to the people who are influencing education at the local level." We are grateful for teacher leaders, like Sarah, who engage and participate in #uted at every level. Congrats on this latest publication, Sarah! Thanks for sharing your teacher voice.
