Despite all the policies and action plans, our school boards have a long way to go when it comes to eliminating anti-Black racism and improving educational outcomes for Black students.
Join the Black Youth Collaborative in a special session with Patrick Case, the Assistant Deputy Minister and Chief Equity Officer in the Education Equity Secretariat of the Ministry of Education. In this session, we'll speak about the new policy/program memorandum 165 on diversity hiring and staff representation and how we can hold our schools accountable to anti-racist policies and mandated action plans.
This virtual session will take place on zoom Friday, May 14, 2021, from 3:30-4:30
Please Join Us! Zoom Info Here

On August 11, 2021 from 7 - 8pm, we'll share a report back on how families, schools and community organizations can work together to create powerful systems change in our local school communities and education system.
