Statement in Support of Reuniting Separated Families
The Teacher-Powered Schools Initiative is dedicated to supporting teachers as they collaborate with students and families to create the best possible learning experiences for their students. We advocate for education that meets the psychological, biological, and safety needs of students, recognizing that addressing those needs is fundamental to child welfare. As teachers and parents we understand the lasting impact family separation has on children who are affected, and on our nation as a whole.
We believe each child and their family deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and that they belong together. We urge our government to move quickly to reunite separated families.
