Summary

Committee members agreed the DESE Racial Imbalance Advisory Council report could inform district climate work; one member said the previous report identified statewide segregation issues and that many suggestions were not adopted by DESE.

Committee members raised the DESE Racial Imbalance Advisory Council report as a source the working group could consult for district context on segregation and equity. A member noted that the prior report "analyzed the lack of racial equity across the state" and included recommendations that the state did not adopt.
