Join Mann's Divco Committee
The Mann Diversity Committee is part of a broader network of DivCo chairs across all D97 schools. DivCo’s mission is to center racial justice and equity in our schools. It is a learning community that promotes equal justice, honesty, opportunity, and compassion. We work towards creating and implementing initiatives that support an education system that is inclusive, reflects our diversity, and facilitates an equitable future. Projects and initiative include:
- Organizing diverse programming. Recent examples: Dima Ali presented about Arab American culture for National Arab Heritage Month.
- Assist with community-wide events such as the Oak Park Multicultural Festival in May.
- Compiling resources for teachers and staff, especially for cultural heritage months or when a difficult topic is in the news (such as the recent spike of anti-Asian violence).
- Decorating informative and engaging monthly bulletin boards in the front lobby to raise awareness of diversity and inclusion topics.
- Advocacy for families around equity and inclusion issues/concerns within the school community and in the classroom.
Time commitment: In addition to the monthly exec board meetings, DivCo typically meets once a month (we got off this cadence during the pandemic but are hoping to get back to it!).
