HCPSSBoard of Education Meeting Notifications
Important Message from the Superintendent and Board Chair
The Board of Education and I have made a commitment to invest in restorative justice practices, anti-bullying resources, anti-bias and microaggressions training, and professional learning for leaders to operationalize equity in every building and office. Now more than ever, our commitment must not waver. Our school system, however, cannot do this alone and it is incumbent upon every individual in our community to take the initiative and have the tough, uncomfortable conversations that are necessary.
