Description: While data show widening gaps in access and outcomes for Black students served by our public education 
systems, school district leaders are increasingly pressured to refrain from explicitly addressing race-based inequities in 
our schools. Join a conversation with district leaders from a network of school systems who have been tackling the work 
and navigating the politics of ensuring that Black student success remains at the forefront of their mission to ensure that 
all students thrive.
