Schools Superintendent John Ravally, in a letter representing the district’s senior leadership team, said they wanted to assure the district that they “are motivated to bring change to the systemic racism that has oppressed Black and Brown people in this country for far too long.” (File photo).
The color of a person’s skin “should not dictate how one is treated by law enforcement, educators, and society in general,” the school district’s leadership team said in a June 4 open letter to the township.
“We take this opportunity to reaffirm to all of our community members, especially our young ones, that we as school district leaders strive to promote social justice,” reads the letter, signed by schools Superintendent John Ravally on behalf of the leadership team.
