STATEMENT:
"Reports of children in U.S. detention centers being held in unsafe, potentially traumatizing conditions are appalling. Regardless of the circumstances under which children enter this country, there is NO excuse for failing to provide the proper physical and psychological care that they need to feel and be safe.
There is no justification for intentional cruelty against children under any circumstance or for any reason. Doing so not only undermines the well-being of the children involved, it also diminishes the core values of equity and human rights for the nation as a whole."

You responded to our last call for help--we need you ONE MORE TIME! A committee substitute to SB 11 is being considered that removes loan forgiveness for LSSPs. We are told that the bill author will put this back in, but we have to advocate for it with the House Public Education committee! Please contact the committee members and tell them that offering loan forgiveness to LSSPs will help our critical shortage by drawing more professionals into the field. More LSSPs means more mental health services for students! The committee hearing is this Tuesday, so WE MUST ACT FAST! Follow the link below for committee members contact information and a sample letter/message. Thank you!!
