Friends! Safe Schools North Carolina (SSNC) is currently seeking information about what our friends and communities would find most helpful for us to offer in the way of programming and events during the 20-21 academic year. We would like to offer training and networking opportunities that will be helpful to all people who work with LGBTQ+ students during this time. Here is a very brief form (should take you no more than 5 minutes) to help us better understand how to support LGBTQ+ students right now. If you are a teacher or support staff in schools, or a parent of an LGBTQ+ student, please fill out this BRIEF form to support SSNC!! We appreciate you!! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdul13s_7OL1dN-cFIjNJRGLeImiXAGneycvPCr8reR8t-B7A/viewform?usp=sf_link
