[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern was very supportive of staff and families. A lot of reaching out to those of us who are people of color to offer emotional support and asking for anti-racism resources. Some deep and difficult conversations between white staff as well —at least that is what I’m hearing from white colleagues. [/quote]

That's great to hear. Did your principal bring it up with everyone at once? Was there any conversation?[/quote]

I don’t know if he talked to the A-Team first, but he’s really engaged with racial justice and probably decided on his own that he needed to address Floyd’s murder. It was not his first time leading our school in difficult conversations. Our school’s leadership team has worked on conversations about race for years. Not that everyone gets it. Trust me, there are some teachers unwilling to get comfortable being uncomfortable, but they haven’t transferred. It’s a start.[/quote]

I’m at a middle school where our principal sent out an email and that was it. Left the rest to individual departments.  Staff are upset.[/quote]

You all could write a letter to him asking for an equity trainer for pre-service to jump start a series of conversations about race. Anti-racism work is never a one-off.[/quote]
