Schools MUST be sanctuaries!
ICE is disrupting learning and putting our educators on the frontlines of immigration enforcement. Schools must be safe and welcoming places. We must restore sensitive locations protections.

This small school district kept losing students to ICE. So it mobilized.
Outside of Minneapolis, the five schools in Columbia Heights have taken an aggressive approach to protecting the immigrant families of their students.

Schools need to fundamentally change to create opportunities for all students. @aft and @nysut are driving that bus!
Not all students go to College - we need to make that ok. It’s time to scale up successful programs that create multiple pathways for students so high school is a gateway to both college and career.

New blog from @msamberchandler.bsky.social on helping students connect via games!
📵 Teens today are always “connected,” but rarely really connecting.
One teacher is changing that with games, goofiness & “Fun Fridays” that help kids be kids again—no phones, just joy. 🎲💬🎶
