Equity & Access Resources
As a District, we want to engage with our community and take the necessary steps to address systemic racism and injustice in our schools. We hope to have open conversations and communication with our parent, student and staff community to reinforce the importance of this work and the ongoing efforts it will take. We have created this webpage with resources for parents, students and staff to engage in these conversations to work towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming community for all students. We will also continue to examine the best ways to create safe spaces for students to feel heard and welcome on campus.
