State of EDI Address
On April 29, the Equity, Diversity & Inclusiveness Department held the State of EDI Address for TUSD and community members. The event was meant to communicate the department’s achievements, outline future initiatives, and foster a sense of unity and commitment among all stakeholders towards advancing equity, diversity, and inclusiveness. After a brief opening, attendees were able to take part in roundtable discussions and listen to a panel discussion.
