Today marks my last day at Minneapolis Public Schools. After serving as the Out4Good LGBTQ Program Coordinator with Minneapolis Public Schools for over a decade, I’m excited to announce that I have accepted a new role with the Minnesota Department of Education as their new LGBTQ Education Specialist. Working with MPS has been both life-changing and life-affirming, and I can’t find the right words to express my gratitude for the MPS community. While I am excited about new oppo…rtunities, I will carry the memories and lessons I’ve learned with MPS into my new role.
From LGBTQ student groups to events like Q-Quest, to some of the first gender-inclusive policies in the state, we’ve been able to do extraordinary work together, and that work will undoubtedly continue. The students, families, and staff of MPS are the changemakers that have made this work possible. Thank you for the incredible support throughout the years, and I look forward to what is next for LGBTQ students both in Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota.
