It is an honor and privilege to serve as the inaugural Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) for Belmont Public Schools. It has been my pleasure to meet school and district leadership, parents and students, and community organizations. I have observed Belmont to be a caring and responsive community, and I look forward to connecting and collaborating. To champion the meaning of diversity, equity, and inclusion, we must work together to start the conversation of significant systematic change. My objective is to design and implement strategic adjustments that advance the district goals for Belmont to be a more equitable and inclusive school district.
To read more about me and how I arrived at Belmont, please see the district introduction by Director of Human Capital, Michael McAllister. Also, please see below for information about the vital DEI work of the district. Finally, be sure to visit our page frequently, as this site will serve as a living document of the equity work in the district and will be updated often.
Sincerely,
