Warm welcoming on how ReImagine Education is an opportunity for youth and adults to work together to identify recommendations that could be implemented to close the equity gap and address systemic racism in our schools here in Maine.
ReImagine Education (racism notes)
Final Reimagine Recommendations
Background: ReImagine Education is a collaboration between Portland Empowered, the Young People's Caucus, four school districts across Southern Maine and the Maine Department of Education. ReImagine Education (RE) brought youth and educators together in the summer of 2020 to address racism in the education system. RE connected youth leaders and district leaders who were committed to creating change and to listening and learning alongside each other. The RE process centered youth experience and youth voice, specifically those of Black and Brown students in the public education system here in Maine.
