Taking On Anti-Racist Work

It is not just enough for one to say he/she is not racist. Our actions must show that we are elevating historically marginalized voices and empowering all students as agents of change. Building on the District’s racial literacy work conducted with students and staff in recent years, the District is committed to doing more — making equity and access a top priority during the 2020-2021 academic year and beyond.

Read about initiatives across the decade

The Mamaroneck School District sees its diverse student body as one of its greatest assets. The partnerships we have formed with outside organizations over the past 10 years, many of them involving professional development (some on Superintendent’s Conference Days), have had a profound influence on our curriculum. Several key initiatives to confront racism and bias have created impact, including:

Co-op Summer Enrichment:  Co-Op is a Mamaroneck School District summer slide intervention program that works to provide equal access to summer learning for all children.  MUFSD is dedicated to providing learning opportunities that help reduce the achievement gap between low income students and higher income students.  Co-Op serves 72% Hispanic campers, 5% Black, 5% White and 5% Multi-Racial/Other and 13% undeclared.  Led by the STEM Alliance with a strong focus on hands-on STEM education, Co-Op does not take a deficit approach to the needs of the campers.  Rather, the program offers highly enriching project-based learning to ensure that all Mamaroneck students have the opportunity to participate in high quality summer programming.

	Facing History and Ourselves The Mamaroneck School District  has had a 15-year relationship with Facing History and Ourselves (FHAO), an international non-profit organization that for 40 years has “empowered young people to confront bigotry and antisemitism”.  Watch video about the partnership between MUFSD and FHAO and its mission to use teaching as a vehicle for making the world a better place, for helping students gain more voice, and assisting them in being better members of their community.  The work with FHAO led to a 9th grade Mamaroneck High School four-week curriculum in English and Social Studies classes focused on identity, bias, the danger of a single story and discrimination. This curriculum infused many concepts of FHAO and culminated with a visit by contemporary civil rights activist and playwright, Spirit Trickey (daughter of Minnijean Brown Trickey, member of the Little Rock Nine).			xx
	Library Audits  Audits have been conducted in classroom libraries and curricula; we have continually infused new titles to ensure all students have access to high-quality texts that reflect authors and characters of diverse genders, races, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, abilities.		Courageous Conversations The District engaged 80+ administrators, faculty members, and parents in a two-day Beyond Diversity seminar with Courageous Conversation, an organization founded by Glen Singleton.
