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. Learn more: 👇 California students urgently need school facility funding from the state to modernize outdated and unsafe facilities.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 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.

Seizures often accompany a sudden cardiac arrest. Always check for responsiveness after a seizure and verify if the victim is breathing or not. If unresponsive and not breathing normally start CPR and use an AED as soon as possible. Having this technology can mean the difference between life and death, as it may take first responders longer than you think to arrive on the scene. #AEDS #CPR #savinglivestogether #emergencypreparedness

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
