As a school district, we have lowered our U.S. flags to half mast far too many times in recent years as a mark of respect for victims of senseless violence. Once again this week, we have lowered our flags as directed by a proclamation by the President of the United States. This time, we mourn eight victims from a March 16 mass shooting in the Atlanta area, where the majority of victims were women and Asian American or Asian immigrants. Today we want to express our solidarity with our Asian American/Pacific Islander communities.
