PAEA Supports PAUSD Student Board Member Dylan Chen
Dylan Chen
Many PAEA members watched the PAUSD School Board Meeting on Tuesday. It was a powerful meeting on so many levels. We are all deeply troubled by the choice our Superintendent made during the meeting. PAEA members have reached out to us and asked how we can support Dylan Chen. The Exec Board is considering a number of actions, but we want to start by giving you a chance to share your words of support. Please consider adding your name and any comments you have in support of Dylan. Please know that this will be privately shared with Dylan, and PAUSD staff and PAUSD email will NOT be involved in this in any way.
A call to action: If this small gesture feels insufficient, there's more you can do. Please email the PAUSD board, and Superintendent Don Austin. Your voice matters. We are the protectors of our students.

[Your Name]
I am deeply concerned that your were treated with such disrespect at the February 10 PAUSD School Board meeting. I support your work as an advocate for your school, and I believe the frank discussion of issues is a vital part of democracy. I celebrate your bravery, compassion and intellectual rigor. Never let any powerful person silence you.
