Our Commitment to Equity

  • We are committed to creating schools that work for all students. Children learn and grow in different ways and we know that some need more care and resources. We believe that by creating supportive environments where all students feel a sense of belonging and safety, they can be their authentic selves and excel in their learning. 

    We further know that our students do not fail, our systems fail our students. Our team remains committed to racial and educational equity and creating more just schools. We will continue to break down barriers and change our practices, policies, and procedures that have historically marginalized students. Together, as a community, we can make the change necessary to achieve our goals. With these commitments and continued action, we know that ALL students can and will achieve their full potential in District 65.
