We need to show Interagency that they are welcome and, more importantly, we need to show SPS that we are supportive and will collaborate with them while we work together as a community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-73237500113341186672014-12-05T09:18:05.998-08:002014-12-05T09:18:05.998-08:00Lisa, Thank you.

I don't live in QA but if you need support from a parent of an Interagency grad, please let me know. <br /><br />Our district does a lot of things wrong. This is one thing they're doing that shouldn't change. I know parents who have sued to force a school to honor an IEP. I don't understand suing to exclude students from your neighborhood. I want to know what they're telling their kids about why they're doing this.<br /><br />For all this talk of community, to the point where the very word makes me cringe, neighborhoods don't OWN our schools. This is why the people at the top are so important. I never met Kaaren Andrews. Her reputation is well known. I just remember the teachers and counselors at two Interagency schools and how they helped my daughter. How dare a group of PARENTS try to stand in the way of a student who wants to graduate. The needs of your children equal the needs of mine. <br /><br />WestsideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-76745609154158543792014-12-05T06:01:45.587-08:002014-12-05T06:01:45.587-08:00sorry, I did not sign my name.....but this gives m...sorry, I did not sign my name.....but this gives me another opportunity to thank Lisa and everyone else who has signed the petition.Carol Simmonsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-12588424230160535672014-12-05T05:56:51.134-08:002014-12-05T05:56:51.134-08:00Thank you Lisa and everyone else who has signed th...Thank you Lisa and everyone else who has signed this petition.
