- Providing transparent, consistent community engagement whenever schoolwide facility decisions are to be made.
- Investing in internet in school buildings and continued support of home devices and internet.
- Ensuring every school is safe for public health. From continued monitoring of ventilation to ensuring lead-free water fountains, our schools mustn’t harm the health of students, families and educators.
