They might include:
\nMental health. School safety. Bullying. Homelessness. Food insecurity. Transportation. Access to activities and resources.<\/p>\n

Or something we’re not even thinking about yet. That’s exactly why we need your voice.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#FFBA5A” divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”80px” height=”3px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]
