BEREA, Ohio In compliance with a Board of Education resolution passed unanimously last July, the Berea City School District has begun creating task forces to address diversity, equity, inclusion and justice (DEIJ).
Marissa Wissman of the Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio began partnering with the district in January and spoke at the board’s March 1 work session.
The first DEIJ steering committee meeting took place Feb. 18. Efforts in March include determining the scope of work and discovering the unique qualities of the city and district. The design phase is slated for May, with a plan to guide future actions anticipated for June.
