Over the past week, there has been a major shift in the debate over school conditions as students around the country have stepped up and organized to protect their communities. I want to highlight their efforts here in a thread...
Grateful for the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year we will roll out a major grant to address racism in California schools. The work continues.
We’re deeply saddened & heartbroken to share with you that Linda Gomez Evans, a beloved member of our staff & community, has passed away. Ancestor, spirit, sister, we love you. To read more about this amazing freedom fighter, please click the link below facebook.com/CoCoSouthLA/po…
NCLD applauds @RepDelBene for joining @RepBonamici, @RepLarryBucshon, @cathymcmorris, @RepKimSchrier, @repblumenauer and @RepDerekKilmer as a co-sponsor of the #RISEAct. College students with disabilities should not have to wait any longer for fairer access to accommodations.
Proud to have played a role in making some of these bills law!!!
Building off 2021 legislative wins for California schools and students, State Superintendent @TonyThurmond and the CDE are now focused on the important work ahead to transform schools.
Many students with disabilities struggle to get the necessary accommodations in college. The #RISEAct will fix this loophole. Tell your members of Congress to support it today! buff.ly/3yQasA2
This is why we fight so hard for a system of teaching history where racism is seen as a structural issue, upheld by policies and not just individual bias. Critical Race Theory dismembers oppressive systems. #CRT #democracy #education #factbasedhistory
"We must recognize that learning disabilities never go away." In 2022, let's make college accessible for all. - @LD_Advocate buff.ly/3EXlBBk
A new year means a new start. May 2022 be filled with days that bring you joy and purpose. Happy New Year!
Happy New Years from the National Center for Learning Disabilities! In the new year, we can invest in brighter futures for our kids, champion research and knowledge, craft policies that work for kids and families, and shine a light on inequity. 2022, here we come!
.@POTUS recently said, “We can keep our K-12 schools open, and that’s exactly what we should be doing.” He’s right and we are getting it done because of the resources provided and the hard work of so many.
