3/16/2021 Dear Albany Board of Education:

We write to ask you to collaborate and cooperate with our teachers and their union. We want to do our best for every student. In this time of pandemic, doing our best means taking the time and care to manage difficult limitations and tradeoffs. Please respect our expertise as parents, students, and community members. Please respect the expertise of our professional educators. Please honor your agreements. Please continuously check back in with the complex and diverse needs of all our students. Please support our teachers. Every student deserves our best. Thank you.

*On the signature form you can also add a short personal statement if you like, and we will forward to the board with no name, using our best judgement. Of course, you are welcome to write to the Board on your own if you have more to say!
