The Board of Education at the Burlington Area School District will need more time to review and discuss findings from a Comprehensive Equity Audit conducted by Integrate Comprehensive Services for Equity.
The audit, according to Superintendent Stephen Plank, has a goal to address the racially hostile environment present in the district based on a corrective action report issued by the state Department of Public Instruction last April.
The equity audit is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press.
Copies of the newspaper will be on sale at local retail outlets on Thursday and subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail. To arrange for weekly delivery, follow this link: SUBSCRIBE
