Improve Tier 1 Mental Health Support! Student-to-counselor ratios right now are 400:1 or worse. This has been normalized & is unacceptable. The resources are there & I’m calling on states to invest in reducing these ratios because counselors & students deserve better.

Had a great time performing with Cass Quartet at the GSC!!

Field trip to @UMich with the 8th grade today. Not the typical yellow limousine for transportation, and kids did well representing our community!

You can't define Tier II or III when Tier I isn't clearly defined & implemented first. If you find more & more kids needing Tier II & III supports, take a long hard look at Tier I. That's the hard, simple truth of it.

@MusicAtNorup Looking sharp!

But this is a much more accurate picture!
