Equity Council Committee

  • The Equity Council Committee monitors and analyzes equity issues, advises the school board, and advocates for achievement by all students. We are champions for all children regardless of their background and circumstances, and we represent the equity conscience of the community. Five committee members are appointed by the school board and six are elected by the seated committee.

    Current members: Ariel Arthur, Joseph Barry, Camisha Boyd-Powell (chair), Raaziq El-Amin, Arnold Farr, Antomia Farrell, Bob McLaughlin, Deverin Muff, Bret Nathaniel, Thalethia Routt, and Kennedy Wells

    The group usually meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday, with exceptions for holidays and other conflicts. Because of COVID-19 precautions, the committee is meeting via video-teleconference. You can watch the live stream at home or in person at the John D. Price Administration Building (450 Park Place), and community input is welcome in Conference Room 150:
