COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation (BCSC) announced Tuesday morning the sudden passing of Multi-Cultural Coordinator Kimberly Easton. During her three years with the school system, Easton led many diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
Easton guided teams in the areas of Diverse Curriculum, Family Academic Achievement Network, Restorative Justice, and Under-Represented Teacher Recruitment and Retention. A Columbus North graduate, she returned to her hometown after a successful career in journalism and the founding of a strategic communications company.
“In her time here, Kimberly was very passionate about her work. She cared for all of our students, and especially our marginalized students,” said BCSC Director of Secondary Education Bill Jensen.
Superintendent Dr. Jim Roberts added, “Based on the significant work that Kimberly started when beginning her role with us, we transitioned her from part to full-time to help ensure all students had better access to opportunity. Kimberly was critical to their continued growth and development.”
