ACSA Region 6 Annual Conference 2026

When racial slurs—including the N-word—are spoken in schools, dignity is wounded and learning is disrupted. Inspired by heart and grounded in leadership responsibility, this session equips administrators to confront anti-Blackness with courage, clarity, and accountability. Participants will examine how racially hostile environments develop, apply civil rights standards to evaluate current site practices, and practice real-time intervention and restorative repair strategies. Through guided case analysis and collaborative planning, leaders will design a measurable 90-day action plan that strengthens prevention systems, elevates student voice, and restores dignity as a non-negotiable condition for academic excellence.
