At a meeting in October 2021 our speaker was Dr. Lynnā McPhatter-Harris, Director of Student Support, Equity & Inclusion for the Acalanes Union High School District. Dr. McPhatter-Harris shared her new district role and her insights within her first 90 days of work, as well as future initiatives and areas to address.
Dr. McPhatter-Harris’s professional career has focused on working in social justice mission-driven jobs that serve vulnerable and marginalized children and families. She has had the honor of collaborating with several national and international jurisdictions working on projects focused on reducing disparities and improving equitable outcomes for families impacted by child protection, juvenile justice, adult protection systems, educational systems, and community-based organizations. Her talk was insightful and inspiring.
