School board candidates offer opinions on variety of topics during forum
Technology, reaching all students and reducing the achievement gap, students' mental health issues, and keeping up with increasing enrollment emerged as important issues for Lincoln Board of Education candidates attending a Leadership Lincoln forum Wednesday.
One of the most divisive issues the school board has faced in recent months came up most directly at the end of the forum, when an audience member asked candidate Rachel Terry how she feels about diversity and inclusion based fake love cartier bracelet on differences such as gender identity.
Terry, one of three District 2 candidates, helped found a parental rights group and initially rallied parents to express concerns to the school board over gender identity training materials used by Irving Middle School teachers, which exploded into a controversy that gained national media attention.
Terry responded by saying she doesn't believe schools should discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, race or religion and doesn't know why people think she does.
"I don't really understand how asking for transparency and parental permission has turned into I am discriminating against a certain population," she said. "I know that education is the way for all children to make their way in life. That's the way to get out of poverty, to find opportunity."
Lincoln Public Schools, she said, should focus on reaching the parents replica cartier bangle love of home schooled children who for some reason feel they aren't being served by the public schools. She said she and her husband home schooled their children for a few years in Colorado while waiting for an opening at a particular school.
District 4 candidate Jesse Wyrrick said he agrees with Terry that asking for more transparency is not an issue of discrimination, then asked the audience how many of them were transgender or knew a transgender person.
When a majority of hands went up, he expressed surprise and said the "majority should rule" on the issue of transgender students.
"On the whole," Wyrrick said, "the purpose is education, communicating skills, and not providing a restroom or a locker room that a majority of people would probably feel uncomfortable if a transgender were allowed to go into any venue they wanted to assign themselves to."
Other candidates at Wednesday's forum said LPS needs to welcome all students.
Matt Schulte, a candidate in District 6, said all students need to be cared for, and as executive director of Campus Life he works "alongside a lot of kids and adults that come from this particular population you talked about."
Connie Duncan, Terry's opponent in District 2, said the issue is simple.
"We have to educate all children," Duncan said. "We have to provide our teachers with the resources to educate all children. That's just the way it is. That's what we should do. We're an inclusive community."
Norman Dority, the third District 2 candidate, did not attend the forum.
Katie McLeese Stephenson, an incumbent facing Schulte in District 6, said schools must work with all children whoever they are and with whatever issues they cartier jewelry replica bring to school and transgender students in particular are at high risk of suicide.
"So we need to do everything we can to make every student feel comfortable, accepted and loved in our schools," she said. "It's critically important. And gender identity is a critically important part of this puzzle."
District 4 candidate Annie Mumgaard said parents already have access to curriculum and ways to offer input, so she questions those who say they only want transparency.
"As a parent I have to ask myself, how do I not have it?" she asked. "Learning is only going to happen is a child feels known, safe and respected in a classroom. That happens when teachers have the knowledge about who makes up our community."
John Cartier,Mumgaard's challenger in District 4, said one of the reasons he wanted to run was to help ensure schools are a warm and inclusive environment for all students regardless of age, race or gender identity.
He said he supports expanded learning opportunities for children and wants to support teachers and involve them more in decision making.
One of the biggest issues facing the district, he said, is helping students deal with mental health issues.
McLeese Stephenson and Duncan both said they decided to run because they want to serve students.
McLeese Stephenson said addressing poverty, trauma and other issues that lead to an achievement gap for some students is critical.
Duncan said early childhood education and after school programs are important ways to make sure all children succeed after high school and find careers.
Mumgaard said her expertise in television and as a long distance learning coordinator positions her to help the district advance in the digital age.
Terry said she wanted to be an advocate for parents who feel they don't have a voice and to offer perspective she gained from having her children attend schools in Colorado cartier love bracelet replica and Washington state.popular replica cartier love earring size You shou
