Committee members are expected to participate in monthly DEI Committee meetings as well as their designated sub-committee meetings. The application process opens on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at NOON and closes Monday, February 22, 2021 at 3pm.

Expectations of Time Commitment for Sub-Committee Members: 5-10 hours/month depending on the scope and nature of assigned projects in each sub-committee.

• Human Resources – Through a DEI lens, the Human Resource subgroup will work with the district to address policy and practice finding, screening, recruiting, and training of job applicants, and the administration of employee-benefit programs.
• Professional Development – Through a DEI lens, the Professional Development subgroup will work with the district to develop and implement strategies for departments, individual schools, and the district use to ensure that educators continue to strengthen their practice to support all students.
• Curriculum – Through a DEI lens, the Curriculum subgroup will work with the district to review, develop, and implement strategies to improve curriculum and instruction.
• Community Outreach – Through a DEI lens, the Community Outreach subgroup will work with the district to assist in the offering of education, social planning, and support activities to the Methacton School District community.
