SMMUSD to discuss diversity Thursday
Feb. 03, 2021 at 6:00 am
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s Board of Education is set to meet for its first meeting in the month of February and there are a number of items relating to diversity in the district.
Thursday’s meeting is set to begin at 5:30 p.m. with two separate celebrations recognizing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and Black History Month, but a Report on Staff Diversity is among the higher-profile items listed on the meeting agenda.
Last June when SMMUSD stakeholders first began a discussion on social justice standards, former Board Member Oscar de la Torre asked staff to see the results of a diversity hiring report that was previously approved by SMMUSD. A few months later de la Torre broached the subject again when he asked staff about the possibility of a board policy that calls on the district to regularly review it’s hiring practices and diversity amongst staff.
