Abstract: New York State is attempting to push efforts to make K12 schools more equitable. Using a lens of sense making and equity-focused leadership, we addressed the following research questions. 1) How are school districts in CNY using school policy and district plans to move DEI forward? 2) What steps have district leaders taken to carry out their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy, plans, or initiatives? 3) In what ways have the district leaders encountered resistance to their DEI work? Data were collected through a questionnaire and follow-up interviews with superintendents and district administrators responsible for DEI. Findings include actions districts are taking and the resistance they face in this work.
