Abstract
Black and African American students are disproportionately represented in discipline data in American Schools. In order to address issues of inequality, it is necessary to first examine racism and the harms that have been woven into the structures of American society. Discussing these topics is challenging and requires a deep level of institutional trust. Participants completed two surveys pertaining to willingness to discuss racism and trust levels in the organization, and participants had the option to be interviewed. This dissertation examined whether the school at the center of the study has the necessary institutional trust to engage in the race related conversations that will eliminate disproportionality in the organization.
