The Board voted in December 2012 to move the Board meeting to the 4th Tuesday of the month, so as not to conflict with Race Talks, which are held the 2nd Tuesday of every month in the Gym of the Kennedy School. Race Talks is a series of dialogues that deals with race in Oregon, both historically and up to the present time, to provide learning experiences that support the development of racial identity and sensitivity.
Each month, Kennedy School hosts a presentation on a different topic of ethnicity and racial elements in Oregon history, given by educators and/or experts in the topic at hand. The aim is to provide educational and learning experiences that support the development of intercultural sensitivity and racial identity.
