- HEA Anti-Racist Anti-Bias Teacher Coalition survey request: The goal of the Anti-Racist, Anti-Bias Teacher Coalition (ARABTC) is to work to identify and change the structures within our association that continue to perpetuate systemic racism. We believe that, in order to make that change possible, we must center the voice and experiences of our BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ members as the driving force of this work. With that in mind, we are seeking to hear from any and every member who is willing to share their story and partner with us in this mission. We look forward to getting to know our members better.
CALENDAR & EVENTS
UPCOMING IN PERSON EVENTS:
- Friday May 3rd: HEA Event “Lifting All Voices” 4:45pm – 6:45pm
This event is open for both licensed (HEA) and classified (HCU) staff and will replace May’s First Friday gathering. All are welcome! We especially want to welcome all individuals who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ2SIA+, workers with disabilities (visible or hidden), multilingual speakers, and more. You don’t need to be a member to attend this event, and this isn’t a membership drive. The goal is to gather insights on how we can create a safe and supportive community within HSD and our Unions. - April 18 – HEA/Student Services/HR Meeting
