Concord work group advances bias incident reporting system design. The Bias and Hate Incident Reporting Work Group refined the intake module and dashboard requirements for a proposed bias reporting system, with Debbie Dorfman presenting a referral framework and Paul Boehm proposing a simplified decision tree. Members agreed the dashboard should track incident counts, resolution status, response times, and referral destinations to build public trust.
