Platteville Schools To Hire Cirriculum Coach in Anti-Racism Effort

Platteville School District leaders are taking the latest steps to implement a district anti-racism plan by creating a staff advising position that focuses on promoting equity and diversity within the curriculum. The new “curriculum coach” will train staff, offer support to teachers and serve as a curriculum consultant. The position would be tacked on to the duties of an existing staff person. Superintendent Jim Boebel says the job has not been posted, but administrators hope to fill it this academic year. Anti-racism efforts in the school district began this summer prompting school leaders to issue a proclamation that affirmed the district’s commitment to combating systemic racism.
