*Ward 7 Backpack Giveaway: 1000 Students Served*
We were able to equip more than 1000 students with backpacks filled with
the supplies they needed to start school. Even more importantly, this
Saturday's event was about more than giving away backpacks. We connected
residents to resources & COVID vaccines.
I would like to thank our partners for making it possible to
provide backpacks, school supplies, and uniform vouchers. We even had over
70 families walk away with laptops and one lucky family with a new tv!
If you did not have a chance to participate in our back-to-school event,
I've included a few you can attend this weekend below.

I join my DC State Board of Education colleagues in sharing these reopening
recommendations with the mayor based on the dozens of public testimonies at
our last public meeting
<https://ebonirosedc.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=467fdce693d00f2dbc502c14e&id=d2f426d4fa&e=1e30310286>
.
In response, Mayor Bowser & OSSE announced changes to the COVID testing in
schools today.
According to the OSSE website
<https://ebonirosedc.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=467fdce693d00f2dbc502c14e&id=23f450a7c4&e=1e30310286>,
effective Monday, August 30, consent for student COVID-19 testing will take
place via an “opt-out” process. Parents, guardians, and students age 18 and
older can revoke consent through the opt-out form below. The form allows
for electronic signature so parents and guardians and/or students 18 and
older can email the form to their school.
We are in conversation with the mayor to push for what is best for our
community, and until the COVID-19 pandemic ends, the conversation continues.
Families, educators, & community members I ask for your continued feedback
through this quick survey.
