As part of the District DEI commitment, the district has offered opportunities for staff, parents, community members and BOE  to engage in learning around anti-racism.  The sessions will focus on: (1) developing a common language around CR-S education, (2) examining that role that social identities, power, and privilege play in shifting individual and systemic inequalities in schools, (3) identifying CR-S education school and classroom practices, and (4) developing competency around using the CRE Toolkit.
