BOSTON — In what is undoubtedly a “first” in the wake of a presidential election, the man at the head of the largest school district in the state wrote an open letter to the community in order to advise them on how students and faculty can cope with the results of race.
Boston Public Schools Superintendent Tommy Chang’s letter, penned following the election to the Oval Office of Republican Donald Trump, indicates that the district’s mental health support staff will be on-call to assist “students have may be having a difficult time processing any fears or concerns they may have.”
“We need to remember our Culture of We as we continue our vital work,” Chang wrote. “We must ensure that our students feel safe by providing safe and respectful learning communities.”
