Statement of Support for Racial Justice
Dear Members of the ERDI Community,
We are writing to express the collective anger and dismay we have felt as the facts emerge about the brutal and senseless death of George Floyd. His death is on the heels of so much other prior senseless violence against countless victims across our Nation. Our hearts are heavy as another life is added to the indefensible list of people who have died as a result of racist violence. The events happening in our country are painful, and they ignite an urgent call to action for all of us to stand together to change structural and institutional racism—no matter its form. As an ERDI community, dedicated to serving and supporting all children, we must strengthen our collective voice and commit to disrupting the current reality that our students, colleagues, and employees of color experience every day.
We believe the time is now for us to redouble our collective efforts to change the practices and behaviors that repeatedly marginalize and create injustices for people of color. As education leaders and solution providers, and others who support the work of education, we have the powerful potential to create meaningful change. The immediate action we can all take as an ERDI Community is to inform our work and education efforts through lenses of equity, access, and social justice. By cultivating empathy and deep understanding, we are uniquely positioned to build bridges, support healing and champion meaningful and lasting change.
ERDI stands as an ally in this important work, and as former President Barack Obama recently wrote in his statement on the current state of affairs, it is our collective responsibility "to work together to create a 'new normal' in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts."
We’ve shared a growing list of resources to support students, staff, and families in the wake of racial violence. Feel free to add additional resources to the list that might also be of help to others in the ERDI Community. As you each lead in your respective communities and business sectors, please let us know if we can be of any support to you during these challenging times. We are #BetterTogether.

Leading In A New Education Paradigm
Now that we've settled into our new normal, it's time to begin the work of planning for what's on the horizon.
This September, with great caution and careful social distancing in place, we will convene all four of our ERDI cohorts to support one another in leading in a new education paradigm. With that as our inspiration, our fall institutes will be framed around the ever evolving problems of practice that districts across the nation are facing. We are eager to once again bring the ERDI community together to collaborate and learn from one another. We are #BetterTogether
The safety and well-being of our ERDI Community are paramount. We are working closely with the hotel to plan accordingly and will diligently adhere to industry guidance and best-practice recommendations.
To meet the unique R&D needs of our membership, we are pleased to offer a virtual panel solution.
In light of our collective COVID-19 experience, we have a renewed appreciation and commitment to our work. For 35 years, ERDI has brought thought leaders together to collectively tackle the problems of practice facing PK-12 education. Now more than ever, we look forward to rich dialog, discourse, ideation, and progress. We are eagerly anticipating our time together and look forward to once again collaborating as an ERDI Community to ensure the very best for students, families, and school communities.
