Background: At its July 2020 meeting, the Board referred Resolution 2021R-010 by Director Miller to the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation. At its August 27, 2020 meeting, the Board took action to adopt Resolution 2021R-010 as attached.

Since the Board's action, the Administration has started implementing the resolution. The Office of School Administration assembled the 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) Week of Action and a Year of Purpose Advisory Committee in alignment with the resolution. The resolution items were identified, addressed with the BLM committee, and sub-groups were created that will focus on the following areas: Curriculum & Professional Development; Week in Action; Monthly BLM Projects. All sub-groups include student representation to ensure student voice heard.

The committee met as a collective twice, as well as, met with sub-groups once to identify next steps for implementation. The next meeting will be held in October that will identify the first phase of implementation for all schools.
