ED Talk

04/14/2021

"The virtual forum was the first of a series titled EDTalk: Achieving Equity, which is designed to shed light and share dialogue on some of the inequities across the district."

"It is a commitment to educational equity that involves the removal of institutional barriers so that all students regardless of their race, social-economic class, language proficiency, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or ethnic background, can benefit from all aspects of the learning environment and I would definitely invite people to read the Equity Policy so they can see where we stand.”

How is Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School (WS/FCS) advancing equity in schools across the district? What are some of the challenges the WS/FCS face when it comes to advancing equity? Those were just a few of the questions posed to School Board Chair Malishai Woodbury and board member Alex Bohannon....

The Big 4 Alumni Association would like to thank Board Chair Malishai and Alex Bohannon from District 1 and our special guest from the WSFCS Board of Education, Lida Calvert-Hayes (Vice-Chair), Leah Crowley, and Andrea Bramer for your participation in our inaugural Big 4 Ed Talk and look forward to engaging in the future. All of the board members spoke honestly and caringly about the education for all children in the WS/FCS.

Thank you
Eric Martin, President of The Big 4 Alumni Association
