Dear Edmonds School Board and Superintendents McDuffy and Balderas:

We are students, parents, educators and community members who are standing against the aggressive, violent behavior of the police.  The killing of George Floyd in Minnesota and the attempt to call police power against Christian Cooper in New York are not isolated incidents, but representative of the way policing has always been used in the U.S.  The Minneapolis School Board has taken the bold and necessary step to end the district's relationship with their local police department and we should follow their lead.

We can no longer justify the regular stress and trauma placed on our Black and brown students with the daily presence of Student Resource Officers in our school buildings in the name of safety.  
In the midst of massive budget shortages when many schools do not have adequate nursing or counseling resources, it is particularly unconscionable that our district is spending our scarce funds to police our students.

We ask that you end Edmonds School District's existing relationship with all local police departments immediately and commit to funding Counselors and wrap-around services prioritizing student mental health.

Firme una carta para la Junta Escolar de Edmonds y Superintendentes: Finalice la relación con los departamentos de policía locales ahora

Estimados miembros de la Junta Escolar de Edmonds y Superintendentes McDuffy y Balderas:

Somos estudiantes, padres, educadores y miembros de la comunidad que estamos en contra del comportamiento agresivo y violento de la policía. El asesinato de George Floyd en Minnesota y el intento de llamar al poder policial contra Christian Cooper en Nueva York no son incidentes aislados, sino representativos de la forma en que la policía siempre se ha utilizado en los Estados Unidos. La Junta Escolar de Minneapolis ha dado el paso audaz y necesario para Poner fin a la relación del distrito con su departamento de policía local y debemos seguir ese ejemplo.

Ya no podemos justificar el estrés y el trauma habituales que se ejercen sobre nuestros estudiantes negros y marrones con la presencia diaria de “School Resource Officers”( se traduce a “Oficiales de recursos escolares” o policias en uniforme y armados en la escuela) en los edificios de nuestra escuela en nombre de la seguridad.

En medio de la escasez masiva de presupuesto cuando muchas escuelas no tienen recursos adecuados de enfermería o asesoramiento, es particularmente desmesurado que nuestro distrito esté gastando nuestros escasos fondos para vigilar a nuestros estudiantes.

Le pedimos que ponga un fin inmediato a la relación existente del Distrito Escolar de Edmonds con todos los departamentos de policía locales y se comprometa a financiar a los Consejeros y servicios integrales que prioricen la salud mental de los estudiantes.*Spanish translation to be provided ASAP, our apologies for the delay
