The Pleasanton school board is set to participate in an equity workshop during a special board meeting on Thursday, which will be presented by Nicole Anderson and Associates Consulting, LLC.
The consultants, according to their website, work with educational leaders to close educational equity gaps in school systems like the Pleasanton Unified School District.
“In order to close equity gaps in PUSD and support all learners, it is essential that our educational leaders build capacity and understanding of key practices and core beliefs requiring a paradigm shift,” according to the PUSD staff report.
“This entails support with various aspects of strategic facilitation and equity impact planning focused on identifying, implementing and monitoring actions that are contributing to achievement gaps, student disengagement, and disproportionality in special education and discipline for identified student groups within our district,” the report also states.
The special three-hour-long board meeting is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. Thursday (May 4). Read the full agenda here.
The school board should give me the $300K they’re spending on this baloney. Here’s the answer — it’s socio-economics. It has nothing to do with skin color, biases or any other popular buzzwords. It all comes down to the ability of parents to give their kids a stable home with an emphasis on education. The school district cannot solve a larger social issue.
Race is biological – Ethnicity is cultural identity.
Each race has its cultural, each ethnicity has its race.
There are free online courses on inclusion and diversity.
See below how the US Army instilled equity among the races.
“The US Army will remove photographs of candidates in promotion board herrings…as part of an effort to address why so many Black officers are being passed over in favor of their white counterparts…the removal of the photos by the military’s largest service is a tacit acknowledgement of how much race still plays a part in decisions about who should advance.”
This is the real world; students are not getting prepared for it.
