Please take a moment today to thank our Local District Central leadership for stepping in to maintain our staffing yesterday! Here’s a sample with email addresses: To: Titus Campos, COSA - [email protected]... Frances Baez, Superintendent - [email protected] Dear Mr. Campos & Ms. Baez, Thank you for addressing the immediate need at Eagle Rock Elementary, which threatened to disrupt so many students during this extraordinary time. Our community is so grateful to you, Mr. Campos, for understanding the unique data and circumstances of our school site and advocating for LDC to maintain current staffing and continue to fund the teacher position as promised. We are appreciative that as our new superintendent, Ms. Baez, you understood our need and swiftly made the decision to support our school on this issue before a teacher was displaced. In gratitude, Emily Carlin President Eagle Rock Elementary PTA
