Some astute insights from Frank Adamson, PhD about Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools. Although, while I understand the concern that Highlands might have a "law enforcement" mentality because so many on the board have a #corrections background, I don't believe this is a fundamental problem at Highlands. The reason there are so many from law enforcement is because most of them saw how our "prison pipeline" system is not working, and wanted a pipeline out of prison to a better life for ex-offenders. But his point about Highlands lacking #competition is spot on. I have seen Highlands use their "market dominance" to stop other potential competitors. For example, after I left Highlands, I still did some consulting for them, but when I also started to do some consulting for another adult charter school, Highlands unceremoniously dropped me. While dropping my contract was completely legal, it is just one example among many others of how they have attempted to stop competition. https://lnkd.in/dVYeJpaC

🚸 Back-to-School Crosswalk Safety Reminder! 🚸 As schools reopen, ensuring the safety of children walking to and from school is essential. Ruby Bridges, a civil rights icon renowned for her bravery and advocacy for educational equality, inspires us to prioritize safety in school zones. To support this mission, AAA Mountain West Group has partnered with the Ruby Bridges Foundation to host another year of Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day in November which underscores the importance of crosswalk safety. Here are a few key back to school reminders to help keep our students safe: 🛑 Slow Down in School Zones: Speed limits are reduced for a reason. Stay alert and drive cautiously. 🚶♀️ Yield to Pedestrians: Always stop for children and crossing guards in crosswalks. They have the right of way. 👀 Stay Focused: Eliminate distractions like texting or eating while driving near schools or bus stops. ⏰ Plan Ahead: Give yourself extra time during school hours to account for slower speeds and increased pedestrian activity. Stay tuned for more as we approach RBWTSD!
