COMMUNITY COALITION ON RACE SPONSORS 2021 SOUTH ORANGE/MAPLEWOOD BOARD OF EDUCATION VIRTUAL CANDIDATES' NIGHT

Join the South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race on Tuesday, October 26 at 7:30 PM to hear the SOMA 2021 Board of Education candidates' views on integration and equity in our schools. Topics may include:

·        Persistent lack of diversity in teaching staff;

·        Segregation within classes at the middle and high schools;

·        More robust access to vocational/technical opportunities for CHS students;

·        Broader representation of minority groups in curricula

All candidates will participate “live” to answer questions posed by the Schools Committee of the South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race, and additional questions may be taken from the participating audience, as time permits.

The South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race is a nationally recognized non-profit organization that envisions a community that is a model for the nation in which people of different races, ethnic, groups, and backgrounds can interact, form friendships, and participate fully in the community’s economic, political, civic, educational, and cultural life. The Coalition creates strategies to support stably integrated residential neighborhoods, advocates for racial equity and excellence for all students in the schools, and brings the community together to learn, to build relationships across racial and cultural barriers, and to celebrate differences.  Visit communiycoalitiononrace.org
