We are a coalition of providers that serve the children of the Borderland. As a collective we are extremely concerned about the new Delta Variant of the COVID-19 virus. In particular, the CDC has indicated this variant is more contagious and highly transmissible to younger persons. We are recommending as a group, the following safety guidelines in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations. These guidelines are to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to guide the schools with possible/and or positive cases. The priority is to continue in-person learning and not have to resort to 100% virtual learning.

Moral leadership and character development in public schools is of paramount importance. One of the key reasons our organization exists is to support the local public school as the leadership training ground for our young people in values that make our world a better place for everyone. There is no better figure in American history than Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. to convey the timeless principles of love, non-violence, and justice. This course outlines these principles in a concise and dynamic way for the current generation of students, challenging them with taking their own responsibility for a more just and equitable world. We wholeheartedly affirm and endorse it! |
