The Davis School District is moving forward with its initiative to tackle the issue of racism.
A recent investigation by the Department of Justice found serious and widespread racism in the district.
“It’s not about whether or not this is a racist community,” added John Zurbuchen, assistant superintendent of the district. The question is, can we make this a healthier community? Can we make this a more inclusive and healthy community?” The district plans on holding training sessions with educators and reaching out to other community groups in the coming days and weeks.
During public comment, some parents downplayed the accusations in the DOJ report and shared how they feel the actions being taken are creating more division.
