We would like to acknowledge the pain and trauma resulting from horrific recent events and 400 years of racism in the United States.

We stand with our communities of color, especially those who identify as and/or are categorized as African American. We will continue to center our work in leading with racial equity.

We want to offer a moment of silence and encourage people to use the chat box if they would like to share a comment or resource. We’d invite people from communities of color to comment

first if they would like.

9/3/2020An abridged version of a statement adopted by PSESD 121

Please also check in with your friends, colleagues and families from communities of color, especially those who identify as and/or are categorized as Black/African American.

Do not offer your shock, or surprise, and do not assume to know how they feel, but be there for them and offer a virtual shoulder, a listening ear, or to do things for them.

Check in on yourself as well. Seek a balance between staying informed and sitting in the pain of right now (which is okay and important to do). Make sure you can function and take care of yourself.

Be a learner and educate yourself.Above all be safe, be kind, and be good to yourselves and others.

Vision All students prepared for post-secondary pathways, careers, and civic engagement.

Mission Transform K–12 education to a system that is centered on closing opportunity gaps and is characterized by high expectations for all students and educators. We achieve this by developing equity-based policies and supports that empower educators, families, and communities.

Values • Ensuring Equity• Collaboration and Service• Achieving Excellence through Continuous Improvement• Focus on the Whole Child

Equity Statement Each student, family, and community possesses strengths and cultural knowledge that benefits their peers, educators, and schools.Ensuring educational equity:• Goes beyond equality; it requires education leaders to

examine the ways current policies and practices result in disparate outcomes for our students of color, students living in poverty, students receiving special education and English Learner services, students who identify as LGBTQ+, and highly mobile student populations.

• Requires education leaders to develop an understanding of historical contexts; engage students, families, and community representatives as partners in decision-making; and actively dismantle systemic barriers, replacing them with policies and practices that ensure all students have access to the instruction and support they need to succeed in our schools.

Culture of Inclusion?

Inclusion (NSCC Brief)

Inclusion is a set of best practices and shared values that meaningfully support the diversity that each person brings to school.

Inclusion is more than equitable access, but the mutual expectation that all students are encouraged and engaged in school activities to [their] fullest potential.
