What board members said

I do think we have a responsibility to ensure that, you know, that there are structural changes in place so that we're not facing the same type of hurdles next year.Timothy KellyBoard member · East Penn School District boardWatch the full meeting from 1:32:15
  • I did have a question about— I noticed that the percentage of like diverse authors was much greater under the optional resources that the teachers were able to select rather than the required resources. …Christine PriceBoard member · East Penn School District boardWatch the full meeting from 13:16
  • My next question is, so for the where there are teacher-recommended readings, how are students and parents able to view that? …Christine PriceBoard member · East Penn School District boardWatch the full meeting from 15:05
  • I also think that it's important to hear from every board member in terms of their individual vote as opposed to a voice vote, 'cause you can't guarantee every person is going to be speaking. …Joshua A. LevinsonBoard member · East Penn School District boardWatch the full meeting from 1:43:26
  • Do you do any kind of disaggregation of this data to see who's attending 4-year colleges versus 2-year colleges, going into employment, just to take a look at the breakdown of students and see if there's any kind of— patterns that are emerging or things that we may need to address as a district to ensure equity and equal access?Rita PerezBoard member · East Penn School District boardWatch the full meeting from 1:16:54
