¿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.

To celebrate International Workers’ Day, on May 1st we will be celebrating together and showing the power of our community and connecting the history of the labor movement and the immigrant rights movement. Speakers will be invited to talk about the state of local, state, and federal legislation.
We invite all families, students, teachers, community members, and business owners to show their power by closing businesses, not going to work or school, and rallying together at our International Workers’ Day Boycott, Rally, Teach-In, and Celebration…
