There has been a national call for students to participate in a 17-minute walkout on Wednesday, March 14th.
In a recent letter to all principals, the School District has stated that “should students choose to walk out, discipline should not be imposed.”
The letter suggested several steps educators should take in advance of any student action, including reviewing safety procedures with students before the day, and having them scan back into the building upon returning.
The Caucus of Working Educators supports any students who choose to take part in this action – and we thank the District for recognizing “student’s rights to self-expression and awareness of social issues.”
If conversations about this day have not yet started at your school, talk with your colleagues and fellow administrators now about what plan makes sense for your building.
The District is asking you to get organized so your students have a safe and effective walkout experience!
