The teachers of PUSD invite our community — students, school staff, parents, and neighbors — to join us Friday morning, April 4, to show our support for the work of the federal Department of Education, which is in imminent danger of being dismantled.
We’ll be gathering in Piedmont Park near the vase at 8 a.m. (or for Beach and Wildwood folks, outside their school sites). We’ll be wearing Red for Ed, and invite everyone to wear red, bring signs supporting public education, and stand in solidarity with us before we walk together to our school sites ten minutes before the first bell of the day rings.
The Department of Education gives crucial support to American students — including those with disabilities, English Learners, children who face racial and gender discrimination, and children who live in poverty — with programs including IDEA, Title I, Title IX, financial support for college through FAFSA, and much more.
Let’s stand together to support all U.S. students and U.S. public schools!
