Leadership York recently recognized educators who completed this year's Leadership for Diverse Schools program. The Leadership for Diverse Schools Class of 2019 included 32 teachers and administrators from 10 school districts. They worked together from September through May, exploring personal bias and learning to interact more effectively with diverse populations of students, parents, and colleagues.
