As Southlake reacts to the arrests of two Carroll ISD trustees at the center of a fight over diversity and inclusion in schools, some community leaders are planning a virtual panel to discuss the issues.
The local chapter of Dignity For All Texas Students is hosting “Moving Beyond the CCAP: Unifying Southlake Through Diversity” on Sunday at 2 p.m.
The event will feature Southlake residents and experts who will answer questions and share information about their experiences with diversity and inclusion in K-12 schools, university settings and the business community.
“Bring your questions and join us as we discuss what’s next for CISD and Southlake,” an advertisement for the Zoom event says.
The panelists include:
- Southlake resident Eric Chernik, a Stanford admissions alumni interviewer and CEO of Building Controls and Solutions.
- Southlake resident Pam Francis, an attorney and co-chair of the Carroll ISD District Diversity Council.
- Dr. Monique Payne Pikus, director of diversity and organizational climate at the University of Texas at Austin College of Liberal Arts.
- Southlake resident Thomas Rajan, vice president of global talent and total rewards at American Airlines.
