¿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).

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.

The meeting and press conference take place on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which, in the Catholic faith tradition, commemorates the miraculous apparitions in 1531 of the Virgin Mary to an indigenous man, Juan Diego, who used roses to prove to the Bishop the apparitions were true, and which moved the Bishop to fulfill the Virgin’s request to build a church.…
