There is a call for change at Rye High School as the district is creating a Race and Inclusivity Task Force. The task force was created after several posts on Instagram from current and former students surface about experiences with racial discrimination at the school. The district is also working with consulting group Steinhardt, which has caused mixed reaction from parents. Some feel there are not enough community members on the task force and that the school's partnership with Steinhardt will bring extreme racial ideologies into the school curriculum.  Aside from race, the district plans to address inclusivity from many perspectives including LGBTQ, special education, and religion.
