A group of students led a march Sept. 25 from Minnetonka High School to the district’s headquarters to advocate for more equitable education for all students in Minnetonka Schools and to speak out against racism.
The event, organized by the Minnetonka Coalition for Equitable Education, was part of an ongoing effort to encourage school district leaders to adopt a list of anti-racism imperatives. The coalition’s list includes diversity training for school staff members, a recruiting plan to bring more teachers of color to the district and adding anti-racist curriculum.
