| Dear New Mexicans,Will you please give a few minutes to email the Albq School Board in SUPPORT of the Parent Rights and Responsibilities policy KB1? This action needs to happen before the Wednesday November 16th APS Board meeting. Although this issue is centered on Albuquerque, we are asking for STATEWIDE support because this will likely have trickle-down effects for the rest of the state. We previously asked for support for this policy last month, and the policy is now on the APS board agenda for a final vote on Wed Nov 16. ——————————BACKGROUND INFORMATIONAlbq Public Schools (APS) has been having GENDER SUPPORT PLAN meetings with students WITHOUT NOTIFYING PARENTS. There is more information about the problems happening in NM schools here:https://rumble.com/v1nigzq-ungendering-language-the-war-on-children-in-nm-schools.html |
| ——————————CURRENT SITUATION: PARENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES POLICYAPS is considering a new policy, KB1 – Parent Rights and Responsibilities, that would establish parents’ rights to be informed about what is happening with their kids at school. THIS IS A GOOD POLICY WHICH WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO PASS. The progressive teacher’s union has called on people all over the state to oppose this new policy. The APS Board is receiving numerous calls/emails for opposition to this policy, and we need an outpouring of SUPPORT for this policy from parents and community members before the Board votes on Wednesday November 16th. |
