After 9 months of organizing, and 3 months of intense in-person meetings, the Catholic School Board has finally apologized.

From day one, all Una wanted was an apology for the discrimination Emmell faced. Unfortunately, the school board escalated the situation by banning her from her own son’s school and publishing numerous lies about the initial incident and mishandled follow-up. Despite the obvious gaslighting and continued discrimination, we only asked for a removal of the ban and a review of the policy, in addition to the original request for an apology.

For months, it seemed like it would be impossible to make any progress with the school board. But thanks to Una and Emmell’s determination, along with your passionate support, all three demands were met.

From all of us, thank you. We will be continue to keep this page updated on the review process, but for now we only have one ask.

Emmell has been through a lot, and we would like to put together a small fund to pay for therapy sessions when he is ready. Our goal is $2000, which will cover 8-10 full sessions.
