Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends,
On behalf of SERC and the SERC Foundation, we wish to extend our deepest gratitude for your participation in “Dismantling Systemic Racism: 2016 Conference on Race, Education & Success.” Your presence was critically important to the cause of ensuring access to an equitable education for all of Connecticut’s students.
We encourage you to share our conversation with your schools, neighbors, and communities. Visit http://ctserc.net/raceined or scroll below for the story of the conference as shared on social media that day. Please continue to use the conference hashtag, #RaceInEd, to post your perspectives and strategies for dismantling the system of racism that is the biggest threat to the potential of all of our children and our communities.
Now that this particular conference has concluded, we are on to the next phase: sustaining momentum. You will hear from us again soon about how we can support you in serving all children and students equitably. As Glenn Singleton suggested in his keynote address, no one should have to do this work alone.
