Chelsea’s Priorities

Address Food Insecurity

Apply for available federal programs to provide free breakfast and lunch and address student needs. Not applying is unacceptable.

Hire EL Grads as Translators

Create pathways to hire our English-learning graduates as paid translators to support families and schools.

Equitable Opportunities Across District

Ensure students in every building have equitable access to resources, programs, and safe, quality facilities.
