We are excited to begin our first PPS School Board Endorsement process. We believe that School Board members are the first line of defense in legally protecting our children from institutionalized racism and violence. From helping to set rules on the curriculum that must be taught and pushing for truth and equity, to passing policies that reduce suspensions and expulsions, School Board members make big decisions all the time. Keeping our kids safe in schools is a challenging struggle, and we need the School Board to support it. Our vision is that defunding the police will help increase funding for restorative justice councils.
