¿Por qué debería importarnos?
La capacidad de SCS para brindar una educación equitativa y de calidad se ve socavada por la alta rotación de docentes y las vacantes docentes de un año, así como por las importantes deficiencias de mantenimiento dentro de las escuelas, todo lo cual conduce a mayores costos financieros, educativos y de salud. La falta de acceso a servicios integrales proporcionados por trabajadores sociales, psicólogos y enfermeras calificados inhibe el tratamiento exitoso del trauma o las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACE). El abuso, la negligencia y el trauma aumentan significativamente la probabilidad de suspensiones, comportamiento delictivo juvenil y encarcelamiento. Con una mediana de edad cuatro años por debajo del promedio nacional, la población de Memphis puede apoyar el desarrollo económico, pero solo si brindamos a los niños de nuestra comunidad acceso a oportunidades y apoyo.

Acerca del evento
Do you want a state that puts communities not corporations first? Do you want to fight for policies that make corporations pay their fair share and give working people a break? Join Senator Charlane Oliver and community members as we hold a town hall on Wednesday October 1 to discuss how Tennessee needs to put people over profits. Big corporations like FedEx, HCA and Amazon are thriving in Tennessee while working people struggle make ends meet.
That stops now.
We are holding a town hall for community members to come together to discuss how corporate power is impacting their local communities and what we can do together to put our communities first and hold big business accountable.
This is our state and we can decide how it works together! Join us on Wednesday, October 1 at 6pm central! Location is at Centenary United Methodist Church at 584 E McLemore.
