A Community Conversation on Race

This past Tuesday, the Deer Park Schools hosted its first ever virtual “Community Conversation on Race, Equity and Understanding.”  The conversation was organized by Deer Park School Superintendent Jay Phillips who explained that “we are committed to helping create positive change in our community and in our schools through open and honest dialogue.”  Tuesday’s community discussion featured a panel of Deer Park teachers, students and community members who talked about what it is like for them to be a minority in the Deer Park Community, the Cincinnati area, and more broadly, in the United States of America in the year 2020.  Deer Park is helping to lead a grassroots initiative of the Ohio Public School Advocacy Network to provide the citizens in our state with an opportunity to discuss important issues and concerns impacting their schools and communities.
