Hello Everyone,
I am sorry to say I will be unable to attend Wednesday's meeting. However, I am still prepared to connect with Edutopia about a possible story. All I need is Milton's "Talking Points" doc, so that I can fully prep myself and then share the goals and desires of SFUSDs Ethnic Studies Campaign with Edutopia.
All the very best,
Angela Brown
