Kutztown parents remained critical of the revised educational equity policy and spoke out against Critical Race Theory during the nearly three-hour long school board meeting on July 19.
Board member Dennis Ritter presented the first reading of the revised Educational Equity Policy 809 as a replacement for suspended equity policy 832. With a 7 to 2 vote, the board sent Policy 809 to the Policy and Curriculum Committee for a first reading and further discussion.
Upon recommendation of the Administration, the Board repealed Policy 832 with a 6 to 3 vote. Board members Al Darion and Caecilia Holt did not want to repeal until a replacement policy is ready.
