Alysse Castro

Alysse Castro cree que nuestras escuelas son centros comunitarios donde debemos apoyar a familias enteras, así como a los estudiantes para que desarrollen todo su potencial. Con experiencia en el aula como maestra a experiencia en administración y experiencia en capacitación, comprende en múltiples niveles cómo funciona el sistema de escuelas públicas. Se ha comprometido verbalmente a poner fin a la privatización y el cierre de las escuelas públicas que han impactado más profundamente a las escuelas con estudiantes mayoritariamente negros y morenos.

Here’s what she wrote in response to our endorsement questionnaire: “The County Superintendent holds a powerful lever to tilt public schools towards quality, equality, and justice – yet few people have even heard of this tool. Our kids – especially those furthest from opportunity – need us to use every tool to break the school-to-prison pipeline, embed systems of care in schools, and guarantee an excellent teacher and an excellent school for every kid in every community. For 25 years, I have served as a successful teacher, principal, and now the Executive Director of County Schools making schools that break the school-to-prison pipeline and change lives for kids furthest from opportunity.”
