Wednesday, March 29, 2023

In this video, Superintendent Dr. Edwin M. Quezada and Assistant Superintendent Ms. Lissette Colon-Collins of Yonkers Public Schools  present the work of their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee and the related professional development.  They share ways in which students were involved in the DEI Committee and what committee members learned from student involvement. Dr. Quezada and Ms. Colon-Collins encourage others to ensure that their DEI committee is comprised of diverse members, including parents and students, and to establish a common language and understanding so definitions are aligned to the vision of the district.
