Community Diversity Alliance
The Community Diversity Alliance (CDA) fosters community engagement and parental involvement and is a forum for community-based diversity conversations. Each of the schools has its own CDA, which encourages building-specific diversity programming and activities; student engagement with diversity activities; and parent study and discussion groups. Our district organization is focused on outreach. In 2020-2021 we adopted families in need, not just for the holidays, but throughout the school year, checking in with them periodically.
District CDA meetings are 6:00-7:30 p.m. on the dates listed below. Due to COVID-19, we will announce whether meetings will be virtually or in person.
- Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2020 (Virtual)
- Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021 (Virtual)
- Wednesday, April 14, 2021
