Moving Towards Reconciliation: Conversations and Efforts about Race, Slavery and History Across the Network
Read MoreUnquestionably, the issue of race and reconciliation is a topic that confronts and challenges our school communities today. It is not a new topic, and while it is national in scope, the reality and impact are felt in particular in the local context of each school community.
