Superintendent Paul Goren, in a memo to the board, proposes using an “equity lens” to guide major proposals policies presented to the board.
“We recognize the importance of examining our work from an equity perspective to ensure that we can identify the impacts and the consequences – both intended and unintended – of our actions,” Goren says.
The Racial Equity Impact Assessment Guide Goren proposes using was developed by Race Forward.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday at the Hill Education Center, 1500 McDaniel Ave.
