As part of the goals to reduce our disproportionately suspended disabled students, 
we just learned, that their are NO behaviour supports available with funding for staffing to provide to these students, so this 
is the MORE reason why the district must make all schools safer with restorative practices district wide.  
THeir are many NO COST practices where all schools can adopt a "universal practice", One that support ALL Students 
Social and Emotional Well being through reinforcements and mandates.

THe Save our Future Resolution addresses BOTH,  🎹🎨💙
A mandate of Love and Respect with a requested Bann on HAte speech, as well as consistency through arts and Music
for our students to help keep them in the most loving and joyfull spaces, while allowing our special education students  a unique OUTLET for learning,
 
YOu can also urge the student directors  to push for safer environments by e commenting,  or sign up to speak here under

The students and community members, continue to speak on the need of violence prevention, through restorative  practices.  As the district has already taken 1 million in funding away through a block grant, 
we continue to ask for no more cuts to funding in the arts.   🎹🎨
 
!Their must be a mandate of love and respect,  
It's not just the R words  (& special needs)  that cause harm, and are hurtful, but also,   THe N & B words,  
(homophobic type language) causes violence and even fatalaties have happened due to verbal attacks, 
Our students must be in the most respectable and supportive environments.  
 
There's also opportunities to speak or ecomment on NOn Agenda, items,
