The district's REAL Coalition (Race, Equity, Access, Leadership) is committed to making progress on a coordinated and thoughtful plan to address racial equity and equity for all in the Needham Public Schools. This work is aligned with the Portrait of a Needham Graduate, the district's five-year strategic plan. Although the work is never easy, the district will keep going forward with a sense of urgency.
On behalf of the REAL Coalition Steering Committee, I have the privilege of launching Let's get REAL! a communication dedicated to keeping you apprised of our work with the School Committee, staff, parents, community members, and especially students, to build on our assets and tackle the challenges of ensuring racial equity and equity for all. Please check out this first issue and reach out to any of our 18 REAL Coalition Steering Committee members listed in the newsletter if you have questions or a request for more information and support.
Many thanks to our staff, students, families, and the community for supporting this important work!
