The CCSD Board of Trustees will be holding a regular board meeting tonight at the Edward A Greer Building located at 2832 East Flamingo Road beginning at 5:00 pm.
Dr Mike Barton will be giving an "update on the anti-racism policy development work." Please attend the meeting or listen online at www.ccsd.net.
Recently the CCSD Board of Trustees voted to begin the process of creating an anti-racist policy for our district. One of the members of our board will be part of the task force that will assist in writing this policy. CCSD has announced the following steps to create the policy.
- Form a community-based Anti-racism, Equity and Inclusion Policy Task Force
- Host task force meetings and develop draft recommendations
- Post recommendations publicly for review and input via online survey
- Write first draft policy and post for public input
- Present public input comments, survey data, and draft policy to the Board of School Trustees
- Present revised draft policy for Board of School Trustees consideration
This process will take time, and we will keep everyone informed about dates and times of the input meetings - including how to make your voice heard through testimony and email campaigns to your trustees.
As participants in the policy task force, our goals are as follows:
- We will help identify where gaps may exist in current law or policy that may allow racism to happen at school.
- We want to ensure that every student feels respected.
- We want to ensure that this policy reflects the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King where every person is judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
Thank you for your support and interest in these important matters that impact our children's education and our families.
