Social Justice in Education: A Call for Health and Achievement in Schools

The agenda for social justice in our school district emphasizes academic achievement and the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of students. We advocate for restorative justice, access to healthy food, sufficient lunch times, and expanded mental health services, while opposing punitive measures like truancy tickets that negatively impact student health. Current policies threaten educational success due to high drop-out rates and zero-tolerance approaches. We urge stakeholders to prioritize holistic learning environments that support both students' health and academic achievements.
