SUMMARY:Lancaster County LGBTQ+ & Allied K–12 Faculty Network Virtual Listening and Planning Session
DESCRIPTION:Lancaster County Chooses Love is exploring the creation of a county-wide LGBTQ+ & Allied Faculty Network for K–12 educators and school staff. \n\n\n\nThis network could provide a supportive space for educators to connect with peers\, share experiences and resources\, discuss challenges\, and build community across school districts and educational organizations throughout Lancaster County. \n\n\n\nBefore deciding what the network will look like\, we want to hear directly from the people it is intended to serve. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an initial virtual listening and planning session where participants can share their ideas\, experiences\, and needs.
