AMHERST — An anti-racist curriculum will be launched in the public schools in Amherst and Pelham beginning in September, according to Superintendent Michael Morris.

Morris is pledging that every student, teacher and staff member at Amherst’s three elementary schools, and at Pelham Elementary School, will be part of this new effort.

“In Amherst and Pelham, the firm commitment in the fall is that there will be an anti-racist curriculum for all students in grades K through 6,” Morris told the Amherst-Pelham Regional Committee at its meeting on Thursday.

The curriculum is being developed by Doreen Cunningham, assistant superintendent of diversity, equity and human resources, in partnership with Jennifer Smith and Derek Shea, the assistant principal and principal, respectively, at Crocker Farm School.
