Subject: Urging Renewal of Services for Black Students at Tam High
Dear Members of the Tamalpais Union High School District Board of Trustees,
We, the undersigned parents, students, educators, alumni, and community members, write to express our strong support for renewing the contracts that fund essential services for Black students at Tamalpais High School.
These services were not created in a vacuum—they were a direct response to multiple, painful incidents of racism on campus. They represent a step toward healing and toward building a school environment where all students, especially those who have been historically marginalized, feel safe, seen, and supported.
It would be deeply harmful to roll back this progress.
Removing these services would not only send a demoralizing message to Black students and families—it would also contradict the district’s stated commitments to equity and inclusion. At a time when many students are still reeling from the trauma of those incidents, continued investment in their success and well-being is not optional—it is a moral and educational imperative.
We urge you to meet with impacted families, listen to those who benefit from these services, and recommit to building a school system that does more than react to racism—it actively works to dismantle it.
Please renew these contracts and show the students of Tam High that their lives, their education, and their future matter.
