Hopewell City Public Schools recognized and acknowledged that, like the majority of our nation, there is a lot of work that needs to be done to address diversity, equity and inclusion. Hopewell began its process of tackling this work, which was bolstered in importance by the black lives movement and civil unrest related to the death of George Floyd. This districtwide initiative with monthly meetings and work has aimed to create systemic change and awareness from individual classrooms to the central office that addresses issues such as the racial achievement gap, instructional content, and disproportionate discipline practices between races.
