MUSD partnered with Dr. Lori Watson beginning in 2020. to develop a series of trainings for staff, parents and students. Dr. Watson launched her first training will all MUSD employees on September 16th 2020. This introductory training laid the foundation for our collective anti-racist work as a district. 

Dr. Watson worked with cohorts of MUSD staff for three intensive training throughout the 2020-21 school year and continued into the 2021-22 school year. Their work together took a deeper dive into bias and ways to interrupt systematic racism. Throughout both 2020-21 and 2021-22, we also scheduled a multi-part parent series where parents/families were welcome to participate in any sessions. 

In 2023, Dr. Watson began working with staff advisors and students in the Student Antiracist Led Movement.
