Over the course of the last several years, I have hosted a series of affinity group listening sessions with the intention of learning about families’ experiences in Saline Area Schools. The input has been invaluable. As an educational community, Saline strives to embrace diversity and create a culture of equity and inclusion. Saline Area Schools continues to focus on being a more culturally responsive District by seeking to eliminate discrimination and harassment from our system. This is an ongoing work in progress. 

This spring, I would like to host another series of listening sessions and continue to learn about your child’s experiences. However, this year we are adding an official from the City of Saline’s DEI Committee and a Pittsfield Township official to further understand your child’s experiences in the District AND in the Saline Community. We want to learn about your experiences with our progress, as well as areas where we continue to have room for growth, both in school and in the Community. Your stories are of incredible value to the work we endeavor to do in Saline.

The people who will be joining me for these conversations include:  Ryan Kerr, DEI Specialist, Saline Area Schools; also a City of Saline and Pittsfield Township official. 

Please complete this brief survey to indicate your interest in attending any of these listening sessions. They will all be held at Liberty School from 6 - 7:30 pm.  You will receive an email confirmation with more information regarding dates and times of these sessions.
