Conway Superintendent Jeff Collum issued a directive prohibiting CPSD coaches from wearing attire at school athletic events that mention “Celebrate Black History." He doesn't think it's appropriate for staff to wear attire that expressed support for groups that "resemble a cult".
Our school superintendent believes the Black community is a cult. Let's show him that Black history, culture, joy, and resistance belong in Conway schools. RT if you agree!
1) Contact Superintendent Jeff Collum by phone: (501) 450-4800 or email: collumj@conwayschools.net to let him know racism has no place in Conway Schools.
2) Purchase books on Black History Month, racial justice, and Black joy! Purchase here: bit.ly/3yMWoIT. We just added tons of new titles to choose from.
3) We have a fundraiser! Purchase a t-shirt or sweatshirt here: bonfire.com/black-history-…. All proceeds will go to the Pine Street CommUnity Museum working to preserve Conway's Black history.
Why are our school board members sinking time and resources into a bill that will harm our students? Why aren’t they focused on improving Conway schools?
Next Tuesday 2/14, the Conway School Board is holding its monthly meeting in the Conway Public School District Admin Building (2220 Prince Street). Public comment is open, and WE NEED SPEAKERS! Sign up to speak by emailing Superintendent Jeff Collum at collumj@conwayschools.net.
