The following announcement was submitted by Brandi Grayson, Executive Director of Urban Triage.
Hello All,
I'm sending this email as a personal
invite to our Community Accountability Forum. The purpose of the forum
is to provide space and opportunity to center Black families and youth
voices relating to Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) restraint policies and individual education plans (IEPs). It is also an
opportunity for our community to ask questions of MMSD staff and other
experts on policies and procedures relating to the use of restraints and IEPs.
This forum
was organized as a result of an 11-year-old Black girl being brutalized by an MMSD staff person in front of her class. Her hair was yanked out
of her scalp and she was punched in the face. The incident started
because she and another student sprayed Frebreeze in the classroom.
In
addition to the question and answer session, a breakout session will be
included to provide the community with the opportunity to create
actionable steps to support students who are the most vulnerable based
on the information received from the experts on the panel.
Food and childcare will be provided. If transportation is needed, or if you would like additional information or have any questions or
concerns, please contact me at bgrayson74@gmail.com. I also invite you to forward this announcement to your network(s).
Thank you for your time and consideration.
