Black Excellence Coalition

Purpose of the Coalition

The Black Excellence Coalition is charged with the task of developing key recommendations and actions that will have the following impacts for Black students in MMSD.

  • Affirm excellence 
  • Create conditions to shape and transform mindsets of educators
  • Provide liberating experiences for our students to learn and affirm the richness of African and African American people and the way that racial inequities occur in educational systems
  • Promote and nurture social emotional learning in our Black students
  • Create a culture for success for students and their families
  • Determine how we can create more safe spaces for honest, healing and growth for our Black students
  • Address academic supports and any other supports needed from the perspective of our Black students and families

When - We will set up a series of informational sessions throughout January for those interested to learn more. Our goal is to have a schedule of regular meetings established by February for those who can commit to the work of the Coalition. We estimate Coalition members will likely commit to 3-4 hours a month until June 2019. 

Who - We are currently collecting names of those interested in being part of our Coalition. Please complete the interest form.
