    Take a moment to give thanks and celebrate by writing a public note to an educator who made a difference in your or your child’s life! It doesn't have to be long, just a few sentences and a few minutes to show your gratitude.

    We stand with our partners in the Tennessee Educational Equity Coalition in opposing Governor Bill Lee’s Education Savings Account. This voucher proposal does not serve our community’s shared goal of educational equity for all.

    Tennessee needs education policies that lift up ALL students, not just certain groups.

    Honored to not only be in the room but “at the table” with our superintendent and fellow SCS board members speaking with Gov. Lee on why his plan for Education Savings Accounts (vouchers) is not good for any student in whether they’re in a priority school or not.

    Proud to be a Steering Committee member with the TN Educational Equity Coalition, and support this statement released by the coalition against the ESA/voucher proposal!

    We released a statement today on the current legislation in Tennessee. We must continue to invest in proven strategies that increase the odds for success for our most underserved students.

    It's important that all 1 million Tennessee public school students, not just a select few, see increased opportunities for success in their educations.

    State of Opportunity in America report finding No. 1: “Among residents of fragile communities w/ children under 18 in their households, less than half say they are ‘extremely satisfied’ (9%) or ‘satisfied’ (37%) with the quality of public K-12 schools in their area.”

    This is why it's so important for more Memphis schools to be certifiably trauma-informed!

    About 37% of children in Shelby County have had an adverse childhood experience.
