Chair Report—Invitation to Peter Kelley's Reception to Honor 15 years of service. A discussion was had about whether the LHRC should march in the Town Patriot's Day Parade this year. In past years we have had members march. Unfortunately, this year no one is available and therefore, the LHRC will NOT march this year, but hope to next year. A motion was made by Ms. Haung and seconded Resolved: the LHRC will not march in the 2018 Patriot's Day Parade, however, every attempt will be made to march next year. LPS Student Discipline Survey Update—Things are proceeding with the support of all parties. MLK Day of Service Report—LHRC received great publicity from the MLK Community Conversation on Race, which drew over 170 participants (up from 160 late year), nearing capacity. Many Town Departments supported the day by posting notice of the event including the Police Department Twitter Account. LICA, Lexington Minuteman, Grace Chapel all contributed to the day's success. Many suggested actions and comments were reported by the small group tables after Daniel Losen's presentation kicked off a discussion, including: 1) Expand the responsibility in town for dismantling white privilege so all parents can advocate and each parent participates as an equal. 2) Ensure the student voice is louder - facilitated session with students and teachers 3) 2-day test run or short-term audit for AP classes for all students 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420
