I had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion on CBS46 in response to the various issues impacting students due to the Parkland, Florida tragedy. Other panelists included State Senator Michael Williams (R), Gubernatorial Candidate; Shawn Hayes-Tavares, Atlanta Parents & Community in Atlanta Public Schools; Rashad Richey, PhD; Dr. Stephen Green, DeKalb County School District Superintendent/CEO; Tyler Barr, Georgia PTA President; Shannon Flounnory, Executive Director of Safety and Security for Fulton County Schools; Sgt. Wayne Delk, Cobb County Police; Jill Vogin, Moms Demand Action and Janet Cureton, Psychiatrist.

Together with community leaders and law enforcement, Kids on the Move for Success is organizing a Town Hall Community Meeting on March 17, 2018 at the Exchange Park Recreation Center from 1 pm to 4 pm to continue the dialogue on how we can protect students in and out of the classroom. The agenda will focus on the broader issue of youth safety which includes bullying, the ability to get on and off the bus without fear, classroom discipline which encourages learning, plus so much more.  We will be collaborating with Georgia Student Alliance for Social Justice (GSASJ) Group and the youth in memory of the Parkland, Florida school shooting and the safety in our communities  at the March for Our Lives on March 24, 2018.
