If you assume the premise of this article is correct (I do), the implications will have a profound impact on everyone involved in education. Bus drivers, custodians, clerical staff, teachers, and administrators will all be deeply impacted. As importantly, so will taxpayers. There is no time that is too early to start thinking about how to address this.

A “sick building” in education refers to a school, organization, or educational program that appears to function and operate efficiently, effectively, and successfully on the surface, but upon deeper inspection has disparities that exist between the Black and Brown students in them and their White peers. The disparities that are present are, of course, the result of inequities that exist within them. And if left untreated, these inequities lead to diminished access, opportunities and outcomes for all students, but especially those that are Black and Brown. Instructional Equity Solutions, LLC is committed to combat the sick-building syndrome and is dedicated to addressing the inequities in them. What distinguishes IES from other educational consulting businesses is that we focus our efforts on the level that most effects and impacts students - the instructional core.

I am excited to share last night at the Solano Community College Board of Trustees meeting, Solano Community College Department of Public Safety (SCCDPS) introduced a new program to help our students on and off campus deal with vehicle bulb equipment related violations. SCCDPS rolled out a Fix-a-Falcon Bulb Replacement Program in collaboration with the college’s automotive training center and local repair shops to provide repair vouchers to students who are stopped for an equipment violation instead of fixing citations on campus or off campus.    SCCDPS understand that students already have a lot on their plates, and they don't want to add to their burdens. Receiving a fixing ticket could entail taking time out of their busy school schedules to purchase a replacement item, and if they're unable to make the change themselves, they may need to visit a repair shop, locate an officer to sign off on the ticket, and pay court processing fees. This process can be costly and time-consuming for the students. These vouchers address issues such as malfunctioning bulbs on their vehicles, thereby enhancing safety while mitigating financial burdens, especially for economically disadvantaged students.   This program presents a unique opportunity for our officers to interact positively with students, fostering trust and nurturing stronger community bonds. By offering assistance without fines, court appearances, or tension, we seek to support those grappling with vehicle equipment issues without the added financial strain. Our officers are committed to serving as allies rather than adversaries, and this program epitomizes our dedication to making a positive impact in people's lives.   To be eligible for this program, the individual must be currently enrolled as a student at SCC. The voucher can be issued to SCC students during a traffic stop or casual encounters on campus. Additionally, SCC students who receive bulb-related citations from other law enforcement agencies off campus are also eligible, provided they are currently enrolled at SCC. With the voucher, students can arrange for a free replacement of the faulty item by contacting DPS. This program benefits everyone involved and contributes to safer roads.   For more information on the Fix-A-Falcon Bulb Replacement Program, contact SCCDPS at 707-864-7131 or email us at sccdps@solano.edu. 

UPCOMING ROUNDTABLE REGISTRATION: The number of California school superintendents quitting or retiring is escalating, despite increased salaries and benefits. Among the reasons for leaving: Polarized politics, stress and threats stemming from pandemic school closures. Some are being pushed out by newly elected school board majorities. • Why have superintendent jobs become so difficult? • What can school boards do to attract and retain superintendents? • What can superintendents do to navigate politically charged board meetings and issues? Join EdSource's Diana Lambert and Anne Vasquez as they explore these questions and much more with a panel of veteran superintendents and experts.

To anyone thinking of becoming a K-12 school system Superintendent, check out this upcoming roundtable discussion. Panelists include retired California Superintendents, but can surely be relevant to other states. #educationalleadership #k12education

From right to left... No education, no money and no vision/view. Education and money create clearer view, When money is gone, we go back to using our education to recreate /reposition our vision. With money alone and no education the vision can be distorted... Whats your interpretation of the image?

How much do we actually do that’s the main concern. In colleges where we talk about DEAIB, are we actually doing everything or at least the basic things to promote, protect and practice it? Checking boxes just for the sake of saving face won’t make any public college a DEAIB focused one, it needs real practice. And that practice should be in all aspects. A good read, for anyone working in Education, specially Higher Education. https://lnkd.in/guHWhAB9
