Protect Colls Schools is a group of concerned Collingswood citizens who advocate for student support, transparency and equity from the Collingswood School District. Our group is comprised of current, and former Sharp parents, parents from across the district, educators, DEI professionals, West Collingswood residents, and concerned community members throughout the borough. Our vision includes distr
ict leadership that puts fiscal responsibility, transparency, and equity at the forefront. We support district DEI work that is intentional, evidence based that includes the many diverse voices including those of differing races, languages, socioeconomic status, disability status, special education needs and more. We support the identification and removal of barriers that disadvantage marginalized community members while building supports to increase accessibility for the most vulnerable. While we recognize that our schools and buildings need support, we are against the divestment of resources from West Collingswood, the increased burden that the closure of the most diverse schools in the district, including the only school on the west side of Collingswood, would have on the most vulnerable members of our community. We believe that our students deserve investment in their community rather than divestment. We invite anyone interested in joining in this effort to email [email protected].
