Access to Highest Performing School Districts Based on graduation rates DO NOT DISTRIBUTE

Racially segregated neighborhoods and disparities in access to high-need and low-need schools

Opportunities & Barriers Individual Agency/ Responsibility Institutional Barriers & Opportunities Structural Barriers & Opportunities

Unraveling Institutional and Structural Racism is Hard Work Lack common language & shared knowledge base Lack candid conversations & space to have them Believe inequities are tied to intentional, individually- generated actions Believe in continual linear improvement We have different starting points: ▫ Racial gap in perception of racism ▫ Responsibility for outcomes (individual & collective responsibility)
