Will Crossley did amazing things with his education a The Piney Woods School. He went off to become a successful attorney and political appointee. He could have done anything with his education, gifts and experience but he was called back to his roots at Piney Woods to serve as its fifth president, the first alumnus to serve in this role.   He is following in the schools founder, Laurence C. Jones' footsteps as he leads with the school's core values including LOVE.  Yes, one of the school's core values is LOVE! He is right now guiding the hearts and minds of his students from afar as they were quarantined while on spring break.  It is hard to not be inspired by Will Crossley because you can feel it in your bones when you listen to him that he truly does lead with love, and with an even deeper fervor perhaps now in the middle of this quarantine. Prepare to be inspired by this giant heart!        

Dr. Carla Shedd, associate professor of sociology and urban education at The Graduate Center, CUNY, studies the interactions with institutions of low-income Black and Latinx students and how institutional racism impacts children from even before birth. Children who attend integrated schools have sharper awareness of inequities than their counterparts in segregated schools and communities. The “carceral continuum” is more comprehensive than the “school to prison pipeline” and comprises all encounters with institutions. Carla also talks about professionals’ ethical responsibilities and responses and how to create safe spaces.
