The Eanes community is grappling with division during an unusually fraught school board election. For many, the district’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiative is at the heart of the divide.
Incumbents Jennifer Champagne, Place 5, and James Spradley, Place 4, were part of the board when the initiative was created last summer and voted this year to make it a board priority. Both said they stand by the initiative
, which included hiring a consultant to examine the district s teaching practices and its traditions, as an important step in making sure all students feel safe in Eanes. The initiative was created in response to community concerns about racism in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis last May, Spradley said.
