We are in the midst of illegal wars, the terror of 🧊, and everything costs too much to simply survive. Times are tough. Therefore, in the midst of all that is going on, we humbly ask you to join us this Thursday from 6:30 to 8:00 PM in our building (621 Tacoma Ave S) to get a sense of the challenges faced by educators and families who are trying to build healthy classrooms for students and educators across Tacoma.
Nearly 17% of all students in Tacoma receive special education services, which is just under 5,000 students. Special education resources, staffing models, and programs profoundly impact all classrooms in the city, regardless of the neighborhood or grade level. The health of special education really does impact us all.
The truth is, TEA needs our help, every day neighbors advocating for the additional staffing and resources needed to ensure healthy, sustainable classrooms for both students and educators.
Please consider supporting the event in one or both of the following ways:
Show up, listen, and support (You can RSVP in our story)
Share this event with your friends, family, and community over social media
If you have a connection to a community organization (a faith space, a local business, etc.) please share with them

We are grateful to Common Good Tacoma for the space to have our first annual SPED Town Hall on March 5th. Come hear from educators as they share their perspectives on the current state of special education in the city, and a vision for building healthy classrooms. RSVP at the link in the description.
