Seeking Parity Affinity Respect and Camaraderie

Relationships precede learning. Do you identify yourself as a staff of color or belong to a racial-ethnic minority group? Are you looking for opportunities to connect with other staff of color in the district? Then this group is for you!! The purpose of our group is to develop relationships, learn more about our ethnic and racial backgrounds, support each other, and partner with our district to organize ethnic-racial awareness and equity initiatives.

If you would like to join the EPS "Staff of Color" SPARC group, please complete this form.
