HELP US SAVE The Jolly Roger O n the evening of March 10, the District Board of Trustees voted to provisionally cut journalism release periods across the district, putting the Jolly Roger, Redwood Bark, and Tam News in danger of not being able to produce print issues. Journalism programs use these release periods for paste-up, which is the process of laying out the print version of the publications. By cutting these release periods, the committee places journalism into an incredibly difficult predicament. The cutting of these release periods is not, however, set in stone. On May 15, the District will vote to either ratify the cuts or to decide upon a different course of actionone which doesn’t threaten the future of student journalism in the district. The staff of the Jolly Roger needs your support in saving our print publication. We’ve included a QR code on this page that will lead to an online petition calling for the Board to not cut this essential component of our work as journalists. Please take a few minutes to show your support for the work we do. Sincerely, The Jolly Roger Staff 4 Art by Samantha Parr Scan this QR code to sign the petition
