SSBA president Jamie Smith\u002DWindsor said boards were not consulted or even informed about the policy changes.
Smith-Windsor said school boards are “in a position of trust to maintain the legal rights of students, and to maintain school cultures andIf these new policies come into effect immediately, before the legal concerns and potential for harm to students have been fully addressed, Smith-Windsor said that will leave boards “in a very hard place, for sure,” as they decide their next steps.
Smith-Winsor said school boards were also not consulted or even informed about the policy changes in advance. She said the announcement took boards by surprise, and educators and administrators have many urgent unanswered questions. Smith-Windsor said it’s important for parents and families to be full partners in education, and that protecting students’ safety, well-being and legal rights “remains priority number one.”
Without consultation, Tuesday’s announcement fed into “divisive political ideology” that risks taking the focus away from student well-being and schools’ educational priorities, Smith-Windsor said.
