St Johns County Schools has 19 elementary or K-8 schools serving numerous children with special needs. Many of these children use walkers or wheelchairs due to mobility impairments. We are asking that St Johns County Schools create a playground at school so that these children can play along side their peers everyday. Please sign the petition if you agree that school children funded by the local district and state to attend school along side able bodied peers can also play and interact on the playground.
I have been reading through the messages you all are leaving and the stories of these children are honestly heartbreaking. It is clear that this is about so much more than just equipment because these kids deserve a space where nobody is left on the sidelines. I am doing what I can behind the scenes to get the right people to listen but the momentum for this change belongs entirely to you.

My son uses a wheelchair and just watches from the sidelines while the other kids play. It breaks my heart every single day.

Ridiculous that they are left out. Inclusive play is so important for all the kids.

So many kids are missing out on recess because the ground is just wood chips. Put in the rubber surfacing already.
