In the fall of 2020, the Board of Education approved the formation of the Equity and Social Justice Advisory Committee. The Berlin Board of Education recognizes the need to address and dismantle the institutional barriers and systemic racism that continue to impede equitable educational opportunities for each child in the district. The Equity and Social Justice Advisory Committee is committed to evaluating and transforming our current practices at a systemic level to eliminate disproportionality in education and in all aspects of administration. These efforts require a long-term commitment from our advisors that includes both making recommendations and staying engaged as our work progresses over time.
