Summary of the November 18th Site Council meeting
Overview of where we are in Social Justice Curriculum
The November 17th meeting on Discussing Diversity with Bowman Families was a
success. Attendance was fair (around 20 families) and participants expressed the
desire to continue the dialogue. The School Principal and teachers presented aspects
of the diversity curriculum that they hope to teach and discuss with students in all
grades (in a grade appropriate manner). This includes identity, privilege and bias,
power and oppression, and activism. Family participants at the meeting also engaged
in group activities on similar themes.
Update on Modulars
Ensuring modulars are stored far enough from the building so that the don't interfere
with regular functioning of the school (fire drills, etc)
Update on Enrollment/Redistricting/Buffer Zones
Expect new enrollees, except those in 3rd grade, who may have otherwise gone to
Harrington or Hastings to now come to Bowman.
