A joint meeting between the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and the county school board last week erupted into a shouting match over an implicit bias presentation.
The meeting began with presentations about the school divisionâs revenue projections and 2021 budget outlook. But about 30 minutes in, the agenda moved to an âimplicit bias presentationâ led by Maria Burgos, the divisionâs supervisor of global learning and culturally responsive instruction.
Before Burgos could start the presentation, Gainesville District Supervisor Pete Candland jumped in.
âI guess I was surprised to see this on the agenda,â Candland said. âI know I asked about this at the last combined meeting and was basically shot down on getting any additional information. Iâm wondering just as a start, what is the purpose behind this presentation?â
