Hello SRI Community,
Days are getting warmer and longer and we have entered a season of renewal. Happy Spring!
SRI Resource and Protocol Book Final Printing
Even with an uncertain future for SRI, we know many affiliates need support and materials for upcoming events.
Part of this effort will be a final printing of our SRI Resource and Protocol Book, as our current stock is nearly depleted. There may be a new version or reprint at the next home for our work, but it would not be ready in time for summer sessions, so now is the time to order if you need them.
You can pre-order copies from the final run by Thursday, April 14, so we can add your quantities to the print run.
Events from SRI Affiliates
While our new home, when established, will have news about professional offerings, many have reached out to let us know about work they are doing that might be of interest to our affiliates. These offerings are not an indication of a future home, but are opportunities available to our community.
Do you have events to share? Interesting things happening in your area? Please let us know so we can share with our community! Email Chris Jones, chris@schoolreforminitiative.org.

Celebrating School Community
An effective school community is the embodiment of a strong partnership, supporting and honoring teacher leadership, empowering student voice and agency, fostering collaborative family engagement, and cultivating both trust and respect among all stakeholders. As members of our school communities, we ensure that everyone is fully represented in order to harness our collective strengths and experiences, explore different perspectives, and bring to life a shared vision for the education of our children. It has been a challenging time for education, as together we have navigated the pandemic, division, and uncertainty; and have strived to move forward effectively. Our 2022 Education Summit provides opportunity to reflect collaboratively on what we’ve learned and to explore next steps for an even better future.

SRI Legacy
We appreciate your continued support as we recognize the last 11 years as an independent organization, and plan for the next phase of our work. While our current priority is securing a new home, we are also exploring how to emotionally connect and close this chapter as a community and together embrace the next chapter. We will certainly need folks to shepherd this closure with us.
