Press Democrat- we made the paper! 5,300 signatures!

Well done everyone!

I am very proud of the media attention this cause is garnering. 

“Holly Michalek-Byck, parent of three students at Hidden Valley Elementary School, also believes the county standard is too lax and started an online petition Tuesday to lower the 275 threshold. She reminded the Santa Rosa school board at a Wednesday meeting that districts have discretion in deciding whether or not to close schools on smoky days.

The online petition had over 5,000 signatures by Friday.”

“It’s going to grow, and if you don’t take action on it, I guarantee you, your community will,” Michalek- Byck told the board.”

I am compiling the notes from my meeting today with the County Superintendent Steve Herrington.

At this point I am asking for volunteers who would like to be art of this. I am, like many a working parent. I feel badly that comments are going unrecognized on this petition. I am receiving an abundance of information and need help organizing it amongst other needs. 

This is still the beginning and we need to continue to organize.

Keep sharing! Keep posting! Our voices are being heard and recognized.

One Community, Thousands Strong.

Warm regards,

Holly Michalek~Byck
