Dear [Board Member Name],

I hope this message finds you well. I am a resident of District [#] in Jefferson County, and I want to express my support for efforts that help every student feel seen, valued, and supported in our schools. One meaningful step toward that goal would be for JCPS to begin collecting and reviewing data on the experiences of LGBTQIA+ students.

Nationally, studies from organizations like GLSEN show that LGBTQIA+ students are more likely to face bullying, absenteeism related to safety concerns, and lower academic outcomes when they lack affirming environments. Yet these same studies also show that when schools actively foster inclusion—through supportive staff, clear policies, and visible representation—student well-being and academic success improve significantly.

Having local, JCPS-specific data would help us better understand our own students’ experiences and identify where extra resources or education could help create safer, more affirming spaces. Rather than relying solely on national trends, we could use real information from our own classrooms to celebrate what’s working and address what isn’t.

I truly believe JCPS can lead the way in this area. Collecting and learning from this data would demonstrate our district’s ongoing commitment to equity, safety, and the success of every student.

Thank you for your time and for your service to our students and families.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
