Office of Equity and Cultural Proficiency, suppose this office needs something to substantial its existence.
I agree. I would love to know what “supports” means since it appears in almost every sentence. The superintendent and the BOE rubber stamps EVERYTHING. Doesn’t HCPS looks great on paper?!
Can’t wait for President Trump to do away with the US Department of Education so we can get rid of 99% of these useless Offices and their staffs.
