Millard principals will read 'White Fragility' as district has conversations on race

Millard Public Schools officials are launching several initiatives to improve race relations, including having principals read a book that argues that white people in America are racist and don’t know it or won’t admit it.

In light of the summer race protests, district officials are setting up student diversity councils to advise leaders at the high school and district levels.

Officials will also be reviewing curriculum to ensure that what’s taught reflects multiple viewpoints, as well as working to recruit a diverse teaching staff and making sure board policies and administrative procedures are culturally responsive, officials said.

The social studies curriculum is up for review this year and it will be examined with an eye to whether marginalized groups are included, officials said.
