Today is Internet Safety Day. Child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) is a horrific crime that targets some of the most vulnerable people in our communities — children and teens. Resources for education, prevention and intervention of CSEA can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/know2protect

If you know of an incident, you can report it at the bottom of any Know2Protect webpage, by calling 988 for crisis support or 911 for an emergency.

The attached list provides ten steps you can take to prevent CSEA and create a safe digital experience for your child.

We invite you to help us identify the educators whose stories should be told. Nominate a colleague, or yourself, for The Passions Project 2026!

Nomination form: https://tinyurl.com/mwwhbtvs

Your nomination ensures that the authentic voices and experiences of our staff are represented and celebrated. Together, these narratives will shine a light on the humanity, commitment and passion within our school community.

Learn more about The Passions Movement at www.thepassionsmovement.com

THE PASSIONS PROJECT, spearheaded by Racine Educators United (and with support from the NEA CAPE Grant) is designed to uplift educator voices, celebrate the power of public education and help our community better understand the incredible work happening in our schools every day. Through this initiative, we hope to highlight the dedication, diversity and resilience that define Racine’s educators with a visual storytelling series that will feature 10 public school educators and the mentors who shaped them. Each story will be brought to life through professional portraits and video interviews.
