I am writing to invite you to a town hall discussion at Columbus Elementary School next Tuesday, February 8.
The tragic events of last week involving two of our high school youth have made it vividly clear that we are one community connected on many levels. This tragedy has impacted all of us. At the town hall meeting, we will reaffirm that the safety and well-being of our families and students remain our first priority. At the meeting, we will discuss ways to support the physical, emotional, social, and mental health of our students. Your thoughts, ideas, and voice are important to us.
Also at the meeting, we will share what we have learned about our current school district systems and practices, and how further improvements, partnerships throughout our community, and investments are necessary and urgently needed. We will share some immediate action steps.
Our schools remain safe spaces for our community. They are staffed by committed educators and other adults who are here to support, nurture, and love our children and families.
Please join the City School District of New Rochelle Board of Education and I this Tuesday, February 8, from 5:30 p.m.- 6:30 p.m. at Columbus Elementary for this important Town Hall discussion. It will also be available here. The link may also be found on the school district website. We look forward to this and continuing conversations.
The public portion of the Board of Education meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m., also at the Columbus Elementary School auditorium.
Sincerely,
