The Education Advocacy Team supports elementary school students in the Ferguson-Florissant School District to address the high level of suspensions of Black children in North County, without having addressed the root cause of why a child is behaving a certain way. Sometimes, a behavior is cultural, which newer and Whiter teachers wouldn’t understand or appreciate. Also, we try to address the root causes to support students to stay in their classrooms.
- employ college students and trainees to support elementary students with resources, tutoring, and mentoring,
- provide more specialized services from professionals,
- support parents through the IEP process, and
- supply families with basic needs.
