[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To OP: we are an NCS family of color with multiple kids at the school. You should ask the school about this. You may be surprised at how forthcoming they are. They are doing the work to change things in the community. The prior DEI director did a lot to get things started. I've been in some tough conversations the last month that have convinced me the leadership are committed to this. (The post about the old DEI person is baffling to me; my daughter and my family felt welcomed and seen each time we interacted with her. It didn't surprise anyone that she moved on to a leadership role in new york)

The new DEI director was hired at the start of the pandemic and worked 3 months remotely. She worked directly with a small group of kids and faculty over the summer (all remote). She clearly found it to be a different job than she expected, based on her writing. The kids are upset that she left, but I think some of that anger is really at her, for leaving them before she really ever gave it a chance. And some of it is rightly at the school for not changing and recognizing entrenched racism.
