commitment to education<\/a> to help schools address growing inequities and get students back on track as they return to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat they\u2019re saying:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- \u201cBack to school looks different this year, and there are new demands on teachers, parents, and students,” said Ebony Beckwith, Chief Philanthropy Officer, Salesforce. “To ensure their success, we’re leaning into our values and bringing the full power of our platform to help support them through another year of pandemic learning.”<\/li>
- \u201cThe past year and a half was a challenge for not only staff but also students. To have a community partner like Salesforce come alongside our school district with such a generous donation is invaluable,\u201d said IPS Superintendent Dr. Alessia Johnson. \u201cThese additional resources will help IPS address the specific needs of our students \u2014 during and after the pandemic \u2014 through learning acceleration, ensuring we can continue to provide 1:1 technology and access to reliable internet service for students, and that we\u2019re also focusing on the whole child through social emotional learning and trauma-informed care. I often say that we\u2019re stronger together and it\u2019s partnerships with organizations like Salesforce that highlights how working together can yield awesome benefits for our children.\u201d<\/li>
- \u201cSalesforce is an invaluable partner to the students and educators of Oakland Unified,\u201d said OUSD Superintendent Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell. \u201cThe remarkable support they give our middle schools, our teachers, our newcomers, and of course, our computer science students is game-changing. We are able to provide computer science instruction, newcomer support, support for middle schools, and connect students and families to much-needed services through the Education Cloud platform, all of which could not happen this way just a few short years ago. As the African proverb says, it takes a village to raise a child. OUSD is grateful that Salesforce is part of our village.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
