Avon Forum To Address School Diversity/Inclusion

AVON, CT — A local parent group that encourages a more inclusive school culture in town is hosting a special community forum Wednesday, May 31, toward that end.

Avon Friends for Equity is hosting a "celebration" of its recent community dialogue series, in which community members gathered multiple times in recent months to discuss the issue.

Called the "Avon Aspires Community Dialogues," the discussions on issues of racial and gender diversity in the schools were attended by 50 plus people who worked more than 2,000 cumulative man hours to come up with ideas to achieve those goals, according to AFE.

Wednesday's "Community Dialogues Action Forum," as its being called, will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Avon Free Public Library's community room on Wednesday, May 31.

Registration is being accepted, with those interested able to scan a QR code or email avonffe@gmail.com to register for the program.
