If you're on Twitter, please join us @acestoohigh2 to RT three tweets to Washington State officials, politicians, dignitaries, and media outlets. The tweets refer to ACEsConnection members Jim Sporleder and Teri Barila's article: "Cost of state’s math test too high — 16,000 dropouts" (also posted below). Jim and Teri's article makes the case for much needed education reform based on the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences. If Washington State makes the necessary reforms, this could have positive implications nationwide.
Please join us! And if you can't make it exactly at 11am PST, don't worry. These tweets will remain in the feed and you can retweet them at your convenience. The sooner the better, though.
