BOARD TO VOTE ON POLICY TO TARGET INSTITUTIONAL RACISM

This is an interesting vote as it comes on the heels of what was to happen years ago and of course election time is here.  There is no doubt we have some institutional racism and students need to know their history.

The only issue we have with this is the money being paid to potential organizations tied to President Ramos or to Scribner to train staff.  When will training take place, during the time teachers need to plan?  With the type of roll outs that the district has, we can bet this one will be rushed and teachers bear the brunt of it.

We have no issue with supporting students and giving them opportunities for success but at the expense of board member kids benefitting, we think not.  Why does it take a policy to do what is right and what should have been done regardless of it.

Board members are using this as a tactic to brand their outlook to the community and not for the students.  Years and years of the same!

what say you?
