East Lyme The Board of Education has hired a consulting firm committed to anti-racist education to conduct a mini audit of the school community.
The Providence, R.I.-based Equity Institute is collecting data in the form of surveys, focus groups and one-on-one interviews to assess the school community s overall mindset on issues of diversity. The root cause equity mini analysis takes into account students, teachers, administrators and Board of Education members.
Superintendent of Schools Jeffrey Newton did not disclose the cost of the audit, despite several requests for the information. Meeting minutes from the April 5 Board of Education meeting, during which members voted to engage the services of the Equity Institute, did not include a dollar figure.
