Mirroring a more diverse population
EDUCATION: The Duluth school district will consider a plan aimed at
recruiting a more racially diverse staff.

When Phyllis Stott was a second-grader in Duluth in 1952, she and her
older sister were the only American Indian students she knew of.
Stott felt isolated, as though there were no one she could relate to.
As a second-grade teacher at Grant Language Magnet School, Stott hopes
to keep today's students from feeling as she did. After 28 years in the
district, she has made plenty of connections with students who might
otherwise have been in her shoes.
