Hi, friends. Whelp, I made the mistake of sharing this petition on Nextdoor and was met with a slurry of angry politicized commentary. Everything from "Take care of your kid's behavior on your own!" to "Looks like someone doesn't want to parent!" These troll-folks obviously don't know the first thing about who our behavioral interventionists are and the compassion they bring to our elementary schools. I refuse to let a few misinformed curmudgeons get us down though, so please continue to share this petition and reach out to the school board, if you haven't already.

I'd ideally like to get these signatures over 1,000, and I believe we can do it. We don't have much time! If you have contacts at elementaries outside Musson and Baldwin (we've had good coverage there, yay!) please please please share with those folks. 

Russo will be discussing his plan for whatever lies ahead at the board meeting on Monday, June 23. We need to email Russo and the RCS board this week and lay out clearly what we hope to see in this plan moving forward. We need to speak up now or never. 

Here's the link to contact the board again, just scroll down and be sure to select "all board members".

Thank you for your continued support. It's exhausting having to fight for basic human decency. Say an extra prayer tonight! 💕

P.S. Please do not donate to this petition. It goes to Change.org operating costs and not this cause directly.
