This was our second Annual Hip-Hop Summit, but it will not be our last. According to<br />
JCPS Chief <strong>Equity</strong> Officer John Marshall, DEP hopes to expand the future Hip-Hop<br />
Summits to “address some of the racial disparities and inequities in JCPS and to be<br />
more innovative in what we do.” Dr. Marshall stated that “We are teaching in the same<br />
way we taught in the 1980s, and this must change.” And through innovative professional<br />
developments like the Hip-Hop Summit we believe this change will happen.<br />
