Petition to Gavin Newsom, Department of Education

keep schools virtually learning

COVID-19 is surging across the nation and endangering everyone’s life. Many GOP/government officials as well as school boards are pushing to reopen schools in person for the fall term. these individuals are largely and blatantly ignoring the voices of our communities educators, faculties , and concerned parents. schools have been underfunded, crowded, and germ pools WAY before covid began. the common cold and flu rages through schools quickly and easily. We need to protect our children’s health and our faculties health. By protecting them, we can protect our entire community from having to unnecessarily bury a loved one or be buried in a debt of health bills. By protecting our children, we are protecting everyone. The los angeles and san diego unified school districts have decided to protect their communities and keep learning virtual, yet there are many others who are not as willing to follow in their footsteps. Let’s make our concerns and voices heard and keep schools closed across the board until everyone can be protected again. Read more

Petition to Bcpss

Reducing Work Given Virtually

Since the virtual transition for schooling, both students & staff are under extreme pressure and stress from the school system. Teachers are being forced to keep students engaged by piling on numerous amounts of assignments. Many students have given up on their academics due to immense pressure while feeling unsupported. Even though students cannot be failed because of the virtual situation, it is unfair to expect so much out of students when they have other expectations, opportunities & responsibilities outside of school. It is near impossible to learn effectively without reasonable & patient support from the faculty. Let's make the change!Read more

Petition to FWISD

FWISD postpone Graduation DO NOT do virtually

FWISD announced on 4/29/2020 to give the FWISD senior class of 2020 a virtual graduation. See link below. This is unfair to all those seniors who spent so many years working for this day. Graduation is a milestone for these young adults. Many jumped over hurdles to make it to today. These kids are getting robbed of this special moment. Family, friends and seniors 2020 DO NOT care if they walk in June, July or December....they simply want to walk the stage. A virtual graduation IS NOT RIGHT! Family, friend and community....this is OUR time to advocate for the SENIOR CLASS of 2020!!!! https://www.fwisd.org/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=160&ModuleInstanceID=1326&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=61542&PageID=1964&fbclid=IwAR3qRBpzwzRhd5ugxjuM6Xlzpf9eqtL4gMR-FYeaVRYDb20Eyk7yzP2loKgRead more
