NO school shld be removing food from kids' insulated lunchboxes/bags to Ziplocs. Three schools so far today & others last wk. @BCPSSuptOfc pls call time on this absurdity. Unsafe, unkind, unacceptable. Lori Alhadeff Debra Hixon School Board Member Sarah Leonardi Torey Alston NORA RUPERT Daniel P. Foganholi Sr.

Watch this video from School Board Member Debra Hixon encouraging the community to wear orange on Friday, June 2, in support of National Gun Violence Awareness Day. #WeStandTogether

Drama teacher Jason Zembuch Young stages productions in both voice & American Sign Language & provides interpreters to help his hearing & DHH actors/crew to communicate & perform. “When we're inclusive in the theatre, everyone is better for it. Everyone deserves to have a voice.'

Pls guarantee that kids taking fresh, healthy lunch in their usual cool-bags will NOT face confrontation tmrw for doing so. Where's the policy? What's the 'consequence'? @BCPSSuptOfc Valerie Smith Wanza Broward Schools Lori Alhadeff Debra Hixon School Board Member Sarah Leonardi NORA RUPERT Broward Schools
