We Come Together as a Family:
Sp
ecial Message from CABE
|
|
FAMILY
is who we turn to in times of challenge, injustice and crisis. For this reason, we turn to you, our
CABE Family
at this time—to express our deep sadness, grief, anger, frustration, indignation, commitment and hope—and to raise our voices as we address the deep issues of racism and discrimination in our society, our educational systems, and the global community.
The brutal racism shown in the recent murders of Mr. George Floyd in Minneapolis, Ms. Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and Mr. Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick (along with others) rips open the deep wounds of racial injustice in our nation, and we stand against the misuse of police force and white supremacy present in our society today.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITITATIVE (CEI)
Request for Applications Deadline is extended to
SEPTEMBER 28, 2020
The
Community Engagement Initiative
(CEI) is a state-wide effort intended to strengthen the System of Support by building the capacity of school districts to authentically engage one another. The
California Collaborative for Educational Excellence
(CCEE), the
San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools
(SBCSS), the
California Association for Bilingual Education
(CABE), and
Families In Schools
(FIS) invite any interested school district in California to submit an application to serve in the Community Engagement Initiative’s Cohort II
Peer Leading and Learning Network (PLLN).
This Network (Cohort II) will join Cohort I districts in leading the CEI’s efforts to build statewide capacity for authentic community engagement, with a focus on improving outcomes for all students, particularly English Learners, low-income students, foster youth, and students from other underserved groups.
As districts have spent the past months focused on supporting and planning for the immediate needs of students, educators, and families in their communities during these unprecedented times, the submission deadline for the CEI: PLLN Cohort II has been extended to
September 28, 2020

Introduction
California’s 2019–20 academic year just ended. It was harder than usual to notice, as most campuses closed in March and moved their instruction online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was not a normal school year for public education. Educators and administrators struggled to recreate distance learning opportunities for their classes without any clear standards or guidance, and it’s clear that the prolonged school closures have had significant impacts on children’s learning. Shamefully, predictably, national data suggest that the closures are exacerbating educational inequities: without access to schools, children of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and children from low-income communities are likely to suffer from widening opportunity gaps.
