Parents tell board families are afraid; call for workshops, mental-health support
Summary
Several public commenters said families are fearful after national rhetoric and urged workshops, word-of-mouth outreach, and student mental-health supports; one asked, 'Do you all understand how afraid we are?'.
Several parents and residents used public comment to tell the board families are very fearful and to urge immediate, accessible supports. One commenter asked directly, "Do you all understand how afraid we are?" and urged the district to prepare practical response steps in case the worst-case scenarios appear.
Speakers recommended informal, word-of-mouth know-your-rights outreach through parent liaisons rather than large in-person workshops that could create vulnerability; they urged bilingual supports, family forums, student spaces to discuss feelings, and partnering with county agencies and organizations to provide legal and mental-health assistance.
