I am a parent, steeped in the Sidwell experience for many years, in all divisions. Easily, the EJC Coordinator position should be the first to go. As with the freshman dean role, any benefits that role yield can be provided by others, especially given Sidwell's outspoken posture on diversity (it imbues everything, they will tell you). And everything I have seen the current coordinator do is PERFORMATIVE. I've been part of the community than more years than I care to admit and I don't see that this effort by the school makes any difference. So I say again, performative. Furthermore, the EJC Coordinator has alienated many parents (yes, including minority, alumni parents) in assorted ways.

As with the "formalized partnership" with Howard University intended to "have an impact on the civic dialogue about race, democracy, equity, and education among teachers and youth leaders for years to come," (???) announced in late 2020, the organized EJC program seems intended to allow the school to say they are doing something positive. And most I know have experienced it as a rather empty effort for the school community. Rather, it is something nice to put on the website, to announce to alumni, and the NAIS.[/quote]
