We are facing an unprecedented situation in Beaverton. Over the past week, our community has been hit by a series of unfortunate events - power outages, loss of wifi connectivity, leaking pipes, and icy roads. These conditions have created an environment that is not conducive to studying or preparing for finals. We must consider the impact this has on student's ability to perform at their best.

According to data from the U.S. Department of Education, such disruptions can significantly affect students' academic performance (source: U.S Department of Education). Furthermore, studies show that stress and anxiety caused by such unforeseen circumstances can negatively impact cognitive function and memory recall (source: American Psychological Association).

We urge Beaverton School District to postpone next week's finals until these issues are resolved and normalcy is restored. This will ensure fairness for all students and maintain the integrity of our education system.

Please sign this petition if you believe in equal opportunities for all students regardless of their current circumstances.
