DEI Committee to focus on K-12 education 
in Ohio at May 11 All Member Meeting

“Preserving All Voices: DEI Challenges Facing Today’s Education” is the title of presentations at the May 11 All Member Meeting that pull from statewide and local perspectives about how diversity, equity and inclusion practices are struggling in Ohio schools. Meeting is open to the public and online via Zoom. See details below.

Cynthia Peeples, Honesty for Ohio Education

Cynthia Peeples, founding director of Honesty for Ohio Education (HFOE), will introduce us to her organization, which has partnered with the Ohio League of Women Voters, among other organizations, to promote honesty in Ohio education. She will talk about nonpartisan efforts to promote an inclusive K-12 education in Ohio by keeping citizens informed about what officials at the statehouse, the state board of education and local schools are doing to promote DEI in Ohio schools. HFOE is a nonpartisan statewide coalition that believes every child deserves an honest high-quality education grounded in truth, facts and diverse perspectives. 

The LWV Kent’s DEI Committee will then discuss the issues that arose during a series of meetings held by the Kent Interfaith Alliance for Racial Reconciliation and Justice (KIFA) over the last school year. The series featured panels of faculty members, administrators, parents, students and a local school board member talking about their experiences dealing with racial issues in the Kent City schools. 

Persons can attend in person at Kent Social Services, 1066 S. Water St., Kent (see map), or via Zoom at 7 p.m. The recording of the meeting will be available online in the June Voter.
