Welcome and Call to Order
Chair Cassidy called the meeting to order.
Report by Executive Director Kelbaugh
Dr. Kelbaugh presented an update on various EDI initiatives. She noted that EDI coordinator Amber Stewart has begun working with faculty and staff and had already begun to provide critical insights. She discussed the need to enhance our communication efforts related to TMS work and commitment to EDI initiatives. She also provided an update on the charter renewal process and the need to review and update the strategic plan for diversity and suggested that we invite the EDI coordinator to attend the committee's next meeting.
Strategic discussion
Chair Cassidy led a discussion on the Diversity Committee's mission and goals as the committee looks to update its strategic plan. The discussion was focused on broad ideas, exploring the committee's vision for EDI initiatives. The committee discussed the various elements of the school community working on EDI objectives and how we can better integrate those efforts and work across community groups. The committee decided that it would be beneficial to conduct some research related to other schools and their EDI work, with a focus on how they are communicating these efforts to their school community.
