This is my baby with the superintendent, Dr. Carstarphen, after the board meeting on November 19.
We have made a difference! I received an email from Dr. Carstarphen, and based on Mr. Waxler's recommendation following comments from the SHAC members, the existing regulation has been rescinded, effective immediately!
I am thrilled at this news! I look forward to working with the district in the creation
of a new policy that will follow Texas law & serve as a
model for other school districts in Texas & throughout the country. I
love this town of ours, & I will be even prouder to live here when
AISD has a new mother- & baby-friendly regulation in place.
We couldn't have gotten this far without hundreds & hundreds of thoughtful and respectful people - thank you all so much for everything you've done - whether it was clicking "Like" on this page, sharing the petition, writing the district or calling a legislator - it all matters. It all added up to make a big difference, so from the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Please stay tuned in as we continue this process. When there's a new policy that upholds the law & respects breastfeeding mothers, that's when it'll officially be a victory.
And then - the rest of Texas. :)
