"I tell that story, not to say that it's radical to have a greeter or to have a bilingual person, but because it's symbolic of what we're trying to do in terms of telling kids, families and staff, we accept you as you are. We're gonna make the adjustments that we need to make to support you rather than force you to do something you may not be able to do yet."
-Bryan Miltenberg
