"Please consider us for organizational membership in the Safe Schools Coalition. We realize that new member applications are considered at monthly Coalition meetings. If we become a member, we will be listed on Coalition letterhead and publications. It means that, as an organization, we support the mission of the Coalition: to make schools safe places where every family can belong, every educator can teach, and every child can learn, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. We understand, too, that joining the Coalition in no way precludes our making independent decisions about our own policies and services. And we will do our best to have a liaison attend at least one Coalition meeting per year*."
