In response to Superintendent Collins's recent communications and efforts to realize a "dream school," the BEA Equity Action Committee urges school board members and community members not to lose focus on the whole purpose for the conversation - that is, socio-economic integration. If whatever concept of a dream school we end up with does not achieve a balance among our 6 neighborhood schools, we have failed as a community to address a crucial issue we have agreed needs to be tackled. We plan to speak with members of the school board and the superintendent to present a comprehensive collection of questions. Our teacher committee has many concerns that we need addressed in order to continue to support the district's efforts. As teachers, we feel that our colleagues teaching at Wheeler and Barnes deserve some sort of assistance, relief, support, or possible compensation while this process slowly unfolds.Updated Spring of 2008
