We are excited to announce the CHS Parent Equity Blog, a broad and inclusive representation of community voices. Here you can read posts from the people who teach and learn at CHS and from parents and counselors and other members of the greater community. We hope that this is a place where teachers and administration can share their thoughts on the challenges and opportunities of creating a more equitable environment for students of color, of closing the achievement gap, and of crafting curriculum that better teaches the complexity of our history and our students’ lived experience. We hope that parents will use this space to voice their concerns about school and for students to give their first-person accounts of what it is like to learn at Cleveland.
If you are interested in writing a blog or suggesting a topic to explore, please share your thoughts HERE.
