Our petition has gained a ton of momentum, and we now have almost 350 supporters which means there are 500+ people involved in this movement! Thank you to everyone for participating. We are reaching out to give you an update and share the next steps.
We have received feedback that the TISD Administration and Board were “shocked” that Creeksiders were still upset about the proposed location of the new intermediate. The Administration and the Board thought that our community had given up and we accepted their proposed plan.
We have been in conversations with The Woodlands Township Board and they are actively reaching out to TISD to have a joint workshop to look at other possible solutions. It should be noted that TISD has not yet responded to The Woodlands Township.
We have been told that parents need to continue to apply pressure to TISD and the Board to show them how dissatisfied we are with the decisions they are making. We need to show up in massive numbers for the protest next Monday and Tuesday. The bigger the turnout, the louder our voice becomes, and the more attention this issue will receive.
Here is what to expect over the next week as we conduct the 2 Day No Attendance Strike to make TISD listen to our concerns.
First, we need to continue this momentum. Please spread the word amongst friends and neighbors so we can gain more support. Also, continue to post about this in your neighborhood chats or facebook groups. You can refer to our website for information www.stand4creekside.org.
Second, to make this event fun for the children as well, we are going to have a sign making party at Creekside Park Village Green on Friday November 10th after school, please come by. Bring your own supplies, but we will have some extra poster boards and markers. We’ll also have some messaging ideas for the signs, as it is important that people keep the messaging positive and respectful.
Thank you to those that have reached out with media contacts and offered assistance connecting us with the media. We have been in contact with several media outlets and the more coverage the better. We encourage everyone to reach out to your contacts in the media. Media coverage of this event will be instrumental in making our voice heard. Feel free to use the press release on our website or direct them to our website www.stand4creekside.org.
Some people have chosen to quietly participate in the No Attendance Strike but not the protest, and we respect that. For those that are comfortable with protesting peacefully, with or without your kids, PLEASE SHOW UP. This is a great opportunity to get other neighbors involved - those without kids, with older kids, or even preschool aged kids. We need your help with recruiting people in our community to get involved. We will be protesting from 8:00am to 10:00am and 4:30pm to 6:30pm on both Monday November 13th and Tuesday November 14th. Another email will be sent out later this week with more logistical information.
Lastly, we have made it a focus throughout this entire process to remain respectful of our teachers and school administration and staff. We love our schools, teachers, and school staff. We recommend that everybody participating let their teacher know in advance so teachers can plan accordingly. Send them an email or feel free to print out the Teacher Notification Letter on our website and send it in with your kids to school tomorrow so the teachers will be aware of all absences.
We will be sending out an email with specific logistics later this week. In the meantime, please see our website for updates or email us at stand4creekside@gmail.com if you have any questions. This update is only going out to those that have signed our petition, so please forward this message on to your friends and neighbors who support this cause but may not have signed the petition yet. We are thrilled to have so many active participants in this movement and we hope to get even more by next week. Let’s all work together to stand up for what’s right and hold TISD accountable!
