Six months later: Diversity in Cook County Schools

In September 2017, during a meeting of the School District 166 school board, the topic of racism in the local school system was brought forward. A number of public comments were shared during the meeting regarding the issue, and the board discussed the topic as well.

In the six months that have followed, the topic of racism in the community as a whole has been brought to the forefront for a variety of public discussions and conferences at the local school district.

Join host Rhonda Silence for a look back at where we were and about what’s ahead.  We will hear from school officials, local elected officials, civil rights activists, and controversial writer Katherine Kersten as we discuss the topic of racism and the work the local school district has done since last September to address this topic.
