Arlington Stands Against Racism Recap
Staff participate in sessions aimed toward expanding race and equity knowledge.

Throughout the month of April, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Division hosted four different virtual sessions for Town and School employees that focused on varying aspects of race and equity.
