Equity Council Committee
-
The Equity Council Committee monitors and analyzes equity issues, advises the Fayette County Board of Education, and advocates for achievement for all students. We are champions for all children regardless of their background and circumstances, and we represent the equity conscience of the community.
Members (five appointed by the board and six elected by the seated committee): Ariel Arthur, Joseph Barry, Camisha Boyd-Powell, Raaziq El-Amin, Arnold Farr (vice chair), Glenda George, Lois Gillespie, Nicole Thorne Jenkins, Bob McLaughlin, Bret Nathaniel (chair), and Thalethia Routt
The Equity Council Committee generally convenes at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday, with exceptions for holidays or other conflicts. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the meetings are virtual until further notice. Viewers can watch the live stream or find archived videos on this YouTube playlist.
