Your magnificent impact on student learning and social emotional well being of our students has been highlighted more than ever in recent weeks during suspension of in-school instruction. On behalf of our Governance Team, I share with you our deepest gratitude for your continued commitment to students and families. We promise to continue our strong advocacy at the state and local level so that public education and educators like you continue to receive the attention and respect that you all deserve.
