LaJoy's Top Campaign Issues

LaJoy believes in implementing comprehensive school safety measures to ensure everyone in our community are safe. This will require a comprehensive approach that includes prioritizing the use of de-escalation, restorative justice practices, safe passage and appropriate accountability measures to fight our epidemic of violence in Ward 8 to make our community safer.As a parent, LaJoy understands the importance of creating safe environments where our children can learn and grow without fear. This includes the following:<ul><li>Safe Passage for Every Student: Every child deserves to feel safe on their journey to and from school. That's why LaJoy is committed to ensuring implementation of safe passage programs across DCPS and DC Charter Schools in Ward 8 that provide designated routes monitored by trained staff and volunteers to ensure the safety of our students and families as they travel to school each day. </li><li>Community Collaboration: Keeping our schools safe requires collaboration and partnership with our Ward 8 community, government agencies and schools. This will require all of us! That includes collaboration across ANCs, neighborhood and civic associations, law enforcement, violence interrupters, community organizations and schools to develop and maintain safe passage routes and other safety measures that address the specific needs and concerns of our community. </li><li>Student Support Services: In addition to physical safety measures, it is important to recognize the importance of providing students with the social and emotional support they need to thrive. Supports include: counseling services, mentorship programs, and conflict resolution initiatives to address underlying issues and promote positive school communities. </li><li>Engaging Parents and Families: Parents and families are critical partners in ensuring the safety of our students and schools. Through active engagement with parents in safety planning and communication efforts, this will help provide families with the information and resources they need to support their children's safety both inside and outside of school.</li></ul>Safety is a MUST! It is up to every member in the community to assist with the safety of our children, families and schools. Every one of us deserves the right to be safe!

School Safety

LaJoy believes in city wide accountability for all DC publicly funded schools. Transparency is fundamental to building trust and accountability within our education system. We must prioritizes transparency within both DC Public Schools (DCPS) and DC Public Charter Schools (DCPCS), ensuring that parents, students, educators, and community members have access to accurate information about school performance, compliance measures, and decision-making processes.<ul><li>Public Access to Information: We will advocate for greater public access to information about school performance, including academic outcomes, graduation rates, standardized test scores, and school climate data. This information should be readily available to parents and the community to make informed decisions about their child's education. </li><li>Equity and Accessibility: We will ensure that transparency efforts are equitable and accessible to all members of the community, including those with disabilities, limited English proficiency, or other barriers to access. </li><li>Community Engagement and Input: We will prioritize community engagement and input in decision-making processes, seeking input from parents, students, educators, and community members on important issues such as school policies, curriculum decisions, and budget priorities. This includes actively soliciting feedback through surveys, forums, and community meetings to ensure we are consistently monitoring and evaluating transparency efforts for all schools.</li></ul>Transparency is not just about checking boxes – it's about building trust, fostering accountability, and empowering stakeholders to play an active role in improving our schools. By working together to promote transparency, we can ensure that every child receives the education they deserve.

LaJoy believes that school transparency is paramount and essential to promoting accountability, informed decision-making, parental involvement, continuous improvement, and legal and ethical compliance.

School Transparency

LaJoy believes in the power of family engagement. By prioritizing parent engagement, it will create stronger partnerships between schools and families, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes and a more supportive learning environment for all students. LaJoy's approach to supporting schools with parent engagement revolves around several key initiatives:<ul><li>Family Engagement Policies: Parent Engagement Policies to support schools with parent engagement and involvement. There needs to be an update and/or creation of family engagement standards . </li><li>Parent and Family Empowerment : Empower parents and families to advocate for their children's education and participate in decision-making processes at their schools in Ward 8, education councils and on a city level. Provide training and resources on topics such as school governance, policy advocacy, and family leadership development. </li><li>PTAs/PT0s/LSATs Partners: It is imperative that we partner with school LSATs (Local School Advisory Teams), PTAs (Parent Teacher Associations), PTOs (Parent Teacher Organizations) to assist with family engagement and outreach to share feedback, ideas, and concerns with all ward 8 educational stakeholders.By prioritizing family engagement and implementing these policies and initiatives, schools can strengthen partnerships with families, improve student outcomes, and create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students.</li></ul>

LaJoy believes that there is a need to prioritize enhancing parent engagement and involvement as essential components of student and school success. By prioritizing parent engagement, it will create stronger partnerships between schools and families, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes and a more supportive learning environment for all students.

Parent and Family Engagement

LaJoy believes in the importance of ensuring that every student, regardless of their abilities, receives the support they need to thrive. Special education is a critical issue that requires careful attention and proactive measures to ensure equity, inclusion, and success for all students. LaJoy is committed to the following special education policies and initiatives:<ul><li>Educator Training and Professional Development: Advocate for ongoing training and professional development opportunities for educators to enhance their knowledge and skills in meeting the needs of students with disabilities. This includes training on evidence-based instructional practices, behavior management strategies, and the use of assistive technology.</li><li>Equity and Access: Advocate for equity and access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities, including access to high-quality curriculum, extracurricular activities, and educational resources. Address disparities in educational outcomes and ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to a free and appropriate public education.</li><li>Special Education Advocacy &amp; Funding: Advocate for adequate and equitable funding for special education programs and services. Ensure that resources are allocated in a manner that meets the needs of students with disabilities and supports the implementation of effective special education initiatives.</li></ul>By prioritizing special education policy and implementing these proactive measures, we can create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.

LaJoy believes in the importance of ensuring that every student, regardless of their abilities, receives the support they need to thrive. Special education is a critical issue that requires careful attention and proactive measures to ensure equity, inclusion, and success for all students.

Special Education

LaJoy believes in addressing mental health needs of our students, educators and schools. This is not just a priority, but a necessity. LaJoy is dedicated to forging strong partnerships between schools, government agencies, and community organizations to prioritize mental health and well-being for all Ward 8 schools, but especially our students. Here's how we plan to implement policies and initiatives to support mental health:<ul><li>School-Based Mental Health Services: We must continue advocacy efforts to fund and expand access to mental health services within all of our Ward 8 schools that provide on-site counseling, therapy, and support groups for students struggling with mental health issues. This can also be implemented by a collaborative care teams initiative. Collaborative Care teams will help to develop individualized care plans and coordinate services across multiple systems. By integrating these services into the school environment, we can reduce barriers to access and ensure early intervention and support. </li><li>Self-Care and Wellness Programs for Educators: There must be a prioritization around the well-being of our educators by implementing self-care and wellness programs that promote stress management, resilience-building, and work-life balance at our schools. These initiatives may include mindfulness practices, wellness workshops, and access to mental health resources. </li><li>Trauma-Informed Practices: We'll implement trauma-informed practices within our schools to create safe and supportive environments for students who have experienced trauma. This approach recognizes the impact of adverse experiences on mental health and emphasizes sensitivity, empathy, and understanding in interactions with students.</li></ul>By working together across schools, government agencies, and community organizations, we can create a comprehensive and coordinated approach to mental health that ensures every student has the support they need to thrive.

LaJoy believes in prioritizing increased funding, support services, and the establishment of a training standard for providing comprehensive mental health care -- that is accessible to students, families, and the entire school community.

We Would Love to Hear from You!

<h3>Why I'm Running for SBOE Ward 8!</h3>I'm running for the State Board of Education because I want to make a difference and improve our Ward 8 families' quality of education. I want to bring fresh ideas and a compelling voice to the school board.

Johnson-Law also expressed a desire to organize and amplify the voices of Ward 8 parents, teachers, and education organizations who she say have been left out of education policy discussions. "I want to continue the work and make sure our families are okay and that they feel heard,” Johnson-Law said. “We can get more help when we have a broader community working together.”&nbsp;

”You want to talk about chronic absenteeism, chronic tardiness, look at the students who have chronic conditions and how are we really assisting them. Children that have disabilities, they have doctor's appointments, they have therapeutic appointments, they may have days where they're not feeling well"

Chronic Absenteeism

“I just really want folks to know that, like, how are families accessing education in the city?" Ward 8 parent LaJoy Johnson-Law said. "And how does that translate to transportation, whether it's by OSSE, Metro car, rail, parent, walking, like, whatever it may be, like, have you really sat down to look at all the mitigating factors that are actually going into this issue? Because how can you solve something and you haven't even you haven't .”

“My daughter often has doctor’s visits, follow-up visits, evaluations because she’s going through medical and therapeutic appointments for her physical and mental health" - LaJoy Johnson-Law. There are many families of children with disabilities and they are not fully considered when the data is disaggregated.

A Parent Perspective on Absenteeism and Tardiness

“I think we all have to remember, kiddos are literally crossing the city to go to school,” said LaJoy Johnson Law. Law is the parent of a 7th-grade student with special needs. She drives her daughter to and from school daily, making the trip from Ward 8 to Ward 1. She said transportation is just one of the many factors that can cause a student to show up late to school, or not at all.

Chronic Tardiness

Meet LaJoy Johnson-Law. Her daughter Abria’s story of living with COPD is featured in ATS Patient Voices, Volume 12. The focus of the stories includes how mental health is impacted by lung disease. Please support the ATS Research Program to help children like Abria.

Below are just a few institutions, collected in consultation with Ward 8 resident and special-needs parent LaJoy Johnson-Law, that have been proven to help special-needs students of all ages.

Tools for Special-Needs Families

"As a mother of a child with a disability, I know it is imperative to protect our youths and their future. We can do this by implementing a bold vision for educational excellence by providing equitable funding for both sectors, requiring all elementary educators to receive structured literacy training to strengthen how children are taught to read and supporting all educators through mental health services and higher compensation".

Parents Deserve to make their own Choice

LaJoy Johnson-Law, a Ph.D. candidate in Washington, D.C., calls her daughter Abria a “miracle baby.” Abria was born at 23 weeks, at 1 pound, 6 ounces — a tiny little warrior with everything stacked against her.&nbsp;They live in Ward 8, an area housing mostly Black residents, many of whom are low-income. In 2015, the D.C. Department of Health ranked Ward 8 with the highest rates of asthma among adults.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Children with chronic disability deserve affordable, quality healthcare

“If we can’t give them the basics, how are they supposed to learn? You can’t learn if you’re hungry,” Johnson-Law said. “I do see it as an intersectionality approach to get kids back in school and to let students know this is another resource. This is just another layer to remove another form of barrier.” LaJoy Johnson-Law, a parent advocate who ran for the Ward 8 seat on the D.C. State Board of Education in 2020...

LaJoy Johnson-Law is a DC parent of a middle school student who attends E.L. Haynes PCS. E.L. Haynes has been outstanding and supportive of our transition to middle school and E.L. Haynes. I’ve seen in-depth collaboration between my daughter’s E.L. Haynes’ team and her elementary school team. A team member of her elementary school team attended her IEP meeting before we even started at E.L. Haynes, which is the in-depth collaboration we need as students transition between schools.

Who Are Students With Disabilities?

LaJoy Johnson-Law, parent, Ward 8 resident, and parent advocate at Advocates for Justice and Education (AJE), joins the Education Town Hall to discuss issues for schools in Ward 8 and citywide. Topics included students as stakeholders, treating feedback as more than “check the box” exercises, budgets, relationships of DCPS and DC Public Charter Schools, homeschooling, and much more.

Centering Ward 8 Needs In Education

"My daughter and I are the dynamic duo. She is my miracle baby. She is not only surviving but thriving. As a proud single mom, it is important to have the village. Every child deserves an opportunity to attend a school with a community of people committed to their success. Every child deserves a school that will help their individual needs to be successful. Families deserve the right to make a choice that is best for their child and their family".

That was the case for Abria Law, according to her mother, LaJoy Johnson-Law. The elementary school student has an Individualized Education Plan that says she needs occupational therapy and physical therapy, among other services. But she only received a paperwork packet that she was expected to complete on her own during quarantine, said Law, a parent support specialist with Advocates for Justice and Education, a group that serves students with disabilities.

What happens to learning when D.C. students must quarantine? It depends.

Since LaJoy Johnson-Law gained access to the internet in her home last year, life has completely changed for her and her 8-year-old daughter, Abria. "When the internet was set up and working, it felt amazing. It felt like we were connected with the world. It was also a sense of relief because [not having internet] had been a point of stress," said Johnson-Law.&nbsp;

"We call for you to acknowledge that Ward 8 students are equitably accounted for. Many of the asks today are for a reinstatement of funds cut from the budget, and these cuts disproportionately impact Ward 8 communities.

“There is going to be a loss of instruction. We have to deal with the reality of the situation,” said Johnson-Law, who also works as an advocate for students with disabilities. “Parents are always our kids’ first teachers, but I don’t think that’s going to take the place of what they get at school.
