Prepared by Dr. Keisha Scarlett
Prepared by Dr. Keisha Scarlett
Yesterday we had a productive meeting discussing:
Our next meeting is scheduled for June 10th from 5-7 pm.
- Dr. Brent Jones’ departure from SPS.
- Just like the email that was sent on Friday. Dr. Jones is moving on to METRO. He will be missed. Official communication will sent out soon regarding the plan to fill his position of Chief of Equity, Partnerships and Engagement
- ERAC Membership/Recruitment
- How do we have a membership which reflects the diversity of families?
- What do we want to recruit community/families into? (Anindita has ideas about this)
- How do we support families who want to share their stories of the inequities they experience? How ERAC be structured to open this time and focus on goals?
- We need a lead for this membership drive – Who is interested in leading this?
- 0030 and Strategic Plan Alignment Documents
- We shared three documents that show the alignment between 0030 and the new Strategic Plan; and a document that takes the recommendations from a number of committees and aligns them to 0030 and the new strategic plan. These document show areas of convergence and synergy across the committees. These strategies are low hanging fruit to support our working with committees to develop procedures for 0030SP. (Please see attached)
- Drafting – Recommendations for Workforce Equity
- We worked on drafting the 0030SP starting with Workforce Equity as a focus area – recruitment, hiring and retention
- These options need to be winnowed down and shared with other committees in the Equity Collaborative for their recommendation ideas and priorities. ERAC started the process.
- Here is the link to the draft document – feel free to add more options https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V9ep0pgg3oYVOI43FY18hjIQiluhAsitEw34c3LobNo/edit
- It may be a good idea to assign focus areas to other committees and share what we came up with when we meet at the August 24th retreat (Save the Date). We will solidify this option on June 10th.
- Supt. to attend June 10th ERAC meeting
- Supt. Juneau asked to come by the June 10th meeting. I will find out what she would like to share and how long for that agenda.
- Policy 0030 Annual Report
- The annual report was submitted from the Equity, Partnership and Engagement division to the Supt. This year’s report is more of a narrow, impact-focused report out of equity-focused initiatives. A link to the Annual Report is here.
Our next meeting is scheduled for June 10th from 5-7 pm.
