Our Family Advocacy Day at the Colorado State Capitol was amazing! More to come! #DoJustice

School closures and transitions are hard. Lived it as a parent and as a school leader. You know what’s harder? Keeping schools open that you know aren’t providing equitable support, expanded opportunities, and excellent student outcomes. It’s not because some schools aren’t trying. It’s often because the conditions don’t able them to fully be all that they need and want to be. Been there. So you have to co-create the conditions and that often requires hard choices that acknowledge that staying in current state will never realize what we owe all children. They deserve to live well and realize their hopes. Period. Inform your emotions with that perspective. Yes it is hard. Yes it sucks. Yes we don’t want to go through it. But, the real question before us is this, do we want to fail children so adults can be comfortable? Children deserve to live well and realize their hopes. That’s our decision making true north!! It’s our obligation to co-create these conditions so that it is realized everywhere!! #livewell #realizehopes #moralimperative #uncomfortableadults @dps_k12 @FaithBridgeCO @aurorak12 @schoolbpartners @boardhawk @ColemanforCO @baconforco @DPSDirectorE @DrOlson4DPS @DrAlexMarrero
