Where are you as an organization? Consider:Policy development and changeCapacity-building for anti-racism through training and skill-buildingStaff demographicsUse of racial equity planning tool, including community engagement and disaggregated data analysisGoal setting and monitoringHow are your efforts similar to or different from BPS anti-racism initiatives?What is one next step you can take?

Few themes

Question you are left with

Themes: Slow / frustrating pace of change; unevenness across organizations (e.g. students and younger staff vs. Board).

How far we’ve come this year but how far we still have to go.

Trying to pace the work—trying to move too quickly or moving too slowly. And try to maintain the momentum and urgency for this work that was felt last spring.

Themes for our group: Recognized that we have a lot more work to do. Our staffing structure and the successes & struggles of making sure they look like the students we are serving.

I love that, Becky

Operationalizing the effort so that it is not silo’d in a specific department/staff member’s responsibilities and instead can be shared as a priority by everyone & so the effort to create identity change is a long lasting evolution

One of our themes was importance of language and constructs and how intentionally and unintentionally it creates gaps and separation … for example “social distancing” rather than saying physical distancing for health and safety, and the ways social distancing is manifest intentionally and unintentionally whether practices like redlining, org policies etc

We found a theme of working in disciplines (debate and architecture) that are deeply entrenched in (and even created to perpetuate) white supremacy and the challenge of dismantling that

I echo this - our t

Task Force held extensive interviews before choosing, for this reason. It was a moment that felt “too slow” but in the end was exactly what we needed to be taking the time to do

Ditto, Kimberly! And it's easier to ensure equitable access to a diverse group of youth than it is to have a staff that represents the backgrounds of the kids we serve.

Wanted to shout out both TiElla and Jamison for sharing their passion and incredible insight in the small group - loved and appreciated our conversation together! :)
