SAU 8, the Concord, New Hampshire School District, just posted a job opening on Indeed.com (today!) for a Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ). The job starts at $95,000.00 a year plus benefits. To do what?
Violate state law, most likely, but here is their job description.
The Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) is an integral member of the Concord School District leadership team and is responsible for guiding DEIJ efforts while also creating opportunities to define, assess, and promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. The Director works with students and staff and is responsible for prioritizing and operationalizing DEIJ initiatives, particularly those dealing with curriculum and professional development, as well as the advancement of cultural competencies.This is a full time position with a comprehensive benefit package.
Those of you familiar with what DEIJ is really about will understand that the district is dumping a wad of cash on a director of grievance and progressive propaganda.
Pay that is almost $30,000 more per year than the average teacher statewide and $17K more than the average SAU 8 teacher’s salary.
So, while this is Concord (very progressive), parents may still want to get involved at the soonest opportunity to address this waste of resources. Most of what the DEIJ is supposed to promote runs precariously close to violating state law. The position or policies that spring from it will, very likely, result in a series of lawsuits the District will have to defend.
But if that’s how you want to spend your education tax dollars, it’s your money.
