Empowering students tackle microaggressions in education

During a recent leadership development program, educators and students engaged in meaningful discussions surrounding microaggressions and racial educational justice. The event, which featured various staff members filling in for Superintendent Polly, highlighted the importance of open dialogue between students and educators.

One notable session included five students who shared their experiences and insights on microaggressions, emphasizing the need for educators to recognize their potential roles as both perpetrators and recipients of such behaviors. The students advocated for a more humanized approach to these conversations, suggesting strategies like \"calling in\" rather than \"calling out\" to foster understanding and growth.

Additionally, the event coincided with a back-to-school fair, where community members gathered to discuss various topics, further enhancing the sense of collaboration and support within the educational community. Despite the heat, the turnout was strong, reflecting a commitment to engaging with important issues affecting students and educators alike.
