I am excited to have been elected to the CMS Community Equity Committee (2020-2022)
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) Community Equity Committee Charge “The CMS Board will convene a Community Equity Committee as a partner in dialogue regarding equity. Members of the Community Equity Committee will review and discuss CMS data and programs in order to monitor progress toward equity. Equity Committee members will represent members of parent, student, educational, faith, and community groups with the expectation that they will become both thought partners in, and community advocates for equity. The diverse nature of the group will provide staff with a sounding board for future initiatives.”
