For more than three decades, Pittsburgh Public Schools has been working attentively towards building racial equity. Leading in a spirit of developing, implementing, and acting on knowledge that repairs the circumstances and effects of public education history in Pittsburgh is valuable work.
Today, we work with a community-appointed group jointly selected by the Original Advocates for African American Students of the Pittsburgh Public Schools, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, and the school district, known as the Equity Advisory Panel, to embed recommendations that support equity through unrelenting advocacy. Together we strive to move the needle on equity develop tools to encourage cross-functional supports that convert to frameworks for educational improvement and transformation.
Over time, we have seen progressions in school and District culture. The Office of Equity, established in 2012, is supportive in this process but we know our collective work is far from over.
