Dear John,
Last week, a 6-year-old black girl and an unnamed 8-year-old child were arrested at their Florida school. The 6-year-old was handcuffed and taken to a juvenile detention center. Her fingerprints and mugshot were taken, and she was charged with battery. No child deserves such treatment—and no school should excuse it. Use these resources to help create and support schools where all children feel safe to learn and grow.
We’ll let you know whenever we update The Moment. Whether it’s lessons on a timely topic, resources for supporting vulnerable students or tips for making it through a tough time of year, we’ll have what you need front and center.
Thanks for all you do for students.
Maureen B. Costello
