Thanks much, Meredith Btw, I wanted to pass along as feedback on your Strategic Plan efforts something my 9-year-old daughter, wrote today. After a lesson about the New Deal, she was asked to describe her own version of a New Deal. She said she would call it "The Inclusion Act." Asked to describe it, she wrote: "All students will be welcome in all schools, regardless of if you can talk or walk or look different. Teachers will assume competence and treat everyone equally. Students will be kind to each other. Classes will challenge every student to thrive. Facilities will be fully accessible. There's no reason why this dream can't be realized!"
