그때, a DOE employee interrupted and said the “racially-charged question” must not be addressed. The employee works at the DOE’s Family and Community Empowerment (FACE) 팀, whose functions include fostering parents’ engagement in education. “The FACE team has staff members focused on parent empowerment… All team members help to amplify parent voices across the city,” the DOE’s website said about the program.
