Falcon Student Voices: Stand Up Against Racial and Social InequalityTop of Page
ESUHSD seeks to address institutional racism and build equitible communities in our schools, and to offer spaces for dialogue among school staff by supporting and facilitating professional development work related to race and other challenging topics.
