Unions representing 300k+ educators and school-related personnel lay out a common good, Black and Brown student-focused approach to a Biden-led Department of Education.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8, 2020 Some of America’s largest teachers union locals and most prominent national educator-led organizations sent a letter to President-elect Joseph Biden today calling for an educator committed to families, communities and the well-being of Black and Brown students to be appointed to the role of education secretary in the new Biden-Harris administration. This letter comes on the heels of school years tested and tried by COVID-19 since March, and a lack of clear and safe reopening guidance for educators, students and their families.
