Delegate Rae Cousins of the 79th District stopped by our campus today for a tour of our facilities. During her visit, she spent time with staff and youth at both Charterhouse School and the Child & Family Healing Center. Her interest in our mission and dedication to learning about our programs is greatly appreciated, as we continue to support youth and families in our community.

In communities across the country, the demand for early childhood education (ECE) exceeds the number of slots available for children, including in #Missouri. Kids Win Missouri is working to address this challenge through its Child Care & Early Education Community Planning Project, which is supporting the development of locally focused community plans designed to chart a path toward a child care and early education system that better meets each community’s needs.

Well said Jim Davnie and Kent Pekel. With a focus on solutions, Family Engagement, Positive School Climate/Multi-tiered Systems of support, Data-Driven Early Warning Systems, Increased Caring Adults and Mentors, we are addressing the root causes instead of solely placing the blame on the student and/or their families. According to the MN Student Survey data, 25% of 11th grade students, 28% of 9th grade students, 32% of 8th grade students, and 54% of 5th grade students in MN say "adults in my community care quite a bit/very much about me". Flip the language and say out loud the % of students who feel adults don't care about them. This is why our community efforts to listen to and come alongside our young people is so important. Our young folks need multiple layers of support and this isn't only the school's responsibility. We continue our efforts to open a youth center in our small rural community for this very reason; our youth have told us what they need!

Why are so many school kids not showing up for class? What's keeping them out of school and what's the impact?

A good one. Quality education is the key to a growing and safe community.
I am incredibly humbled by the amount of support I’ve received from our community. Megan and I love Fishers and our schools dearly and want our son and future children to have the same experience as we did in school. I look forward to sharing my vision for our schools with voters!

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.

Join the movement, spread the word, and let’s make a difference together! #FundOurSchools #EquitableEducation #SupportPublicSchools #CaliforniaEducation #InvestInOurFuture Help create brighter futures for EVERY student in California!
Lynwood Superintendent Gudiel Crosthwaite calls on our state leadership 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.

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 substantially less state facility funding per student compared to their higher wealth counterparts—even though they have greater modernization needs from compounded disinvestment from the state, and less ability to raise local funds. Through this system, wealthy school districts can build theaters and STEM labs and pools. But low-wealth neighborhoods, who have been historically ignored and underinvested in—who need more funds to meet the needs of their students—are stuck using what funds they have to repair HVAC systems and maintain the conditions of their existing buildings. The result is an unequal and unconstitutional system in which students in low-wealth districts receive an education inferior to that of their peers in higher-wealth districts.

What are the rituals in your community? Rituals are actions that carry specific meaning for members of a community. Often, they are used to publicly recognize the contributions of certain members. This strengthens the bonds within the community, both by showing appreciation for the members being recognized, but also by inspiring those who are giving the recognition. Rituals are all around us. For example: College graduation ceremonies are a a ritual, recognizing the accomplishments of those in the student community who have earned their degrees. Mother's Day is a a ritual, recognizing the important role that mothers play in our communities. Worship services are a ritual -- whether they take place at a church, a synagogue, or a mosque -- which unite the community members. If you have a community, what are its rituals? If you are thinking of launching a community, what will its rituals be? #communitybuilding
