BlackBoard Candidate Forum

The BlackBoard of West Contra Costa will be spon­sor­ing a pub­lic WCCUSD can­di­date fo­rum in El Sobrante on September 22nd (Thursday).

The Sponsoring Group

The BlackBoard is a group formed a cou­ple of years ago by black com­mu­nity mem­bers to make sure the black stu­dent achieve­ment gap didn’t get lost amidst all the com­pet­ing goals of the dis­trict by form­ing a group to spe­cial­ize in this is­sue. The group fo­cuses broad at­ten­tion on an­a­lyz­ing the is­sue and de­vel­op­ing and pro­mot­ing so­lu­tions. Currently, the pres­i­dent of the group is WCCUSD ex-prin­ci­pal, Gloria Scoggins, and the vice-pres­i­dent is long-time WCCUSD ed­u­ca­tion ad­vo­cate, Scottie Smith. They will have a web­site soon.

The Event

The can­di­date fo­rum will take place at the lo­ca­tion of Bright Futures, a P-12 en­rich­ment pro­gram for young peo­ple. (The Bright Futures Parent Association is co-spon­sor­ing the event.)
