The Emporia Board of Educators are hearing public comments regarding gating criteria. Depending on how the board votes, Emporia fall sports could be postponed. #KPZ
I’m really proud of all the students coming to the BOE to give their thoughts. A lot of times these debates are handled by adults, but it‘s the kids that are being directly impacted by these decisions. I think it is really cool they are sharing their perspective and voice.

This speech was given by a freshmen at Emporia High. Really powerful. I couldn't be this brave to sit in front of a BOE as a freshmen.

"Our education should be very important and doing it online is just a joke."
This one really grabbed my heart. A fourth grader from Village Elementary in Emporia gave a very passionate speech asking to be allowed to be at school.
