He's the Director for Student Affairs, Business, Library, and the Director of Summer Programs for the district.
Toby speaks about how teachers can use Black History Month in their classrooms, and how to think about teaching Black History year-round, not separated from what gets called "American History," but has excluded much of Black History.
