RCSD Released Outline to Address Issues in Schools

Yesterday, Rochester City School District Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small released an outline and action steps to address RCSD health and safety issues. Here is a section from Myers-Small’s letter: “Over the past few weeks, a narrative about our schools has been created that depicts our schools and our scholars negatively. Disruptions happen in schools, and while they are not acceptable, the way in which we speak about our students has a lasting impact on them, our families, and this community…The mission of the RCSD is to foster students’ individual talents and abilities in a nurturing environment of equity. In order to make this happen, I am asking for your support. It is time for us to partner and problem solve to develop solutions. I am launching a Community Action Initiative, where we will address the issues impacting our schools. “
