One of the most important things to do right now is make our voices heard. We need to let our state and local government officials know that safety in education is important to Massachusetts residents, and that safety needs to be the primary consideration when we consider reopening schools.
Copy-paste our email to education officials template, delete/change the yellow highlighted text in brackets, and send to the email addresses at the bottom.
Emails that are unique can be more effective in getting government officials to take a position seriously. Additionally, emails that specifically explain your personal concerns may help all of the decision makers involved fully understand why we are advocating for safety. Here are the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education contact emails:
