Our district is highly committed to Equity and has promised to achieve equitable access to education for all. It is a promise to all stakeholders that the District will provide the necessary resources and practices to achieve equity for all our students, families, and staff. Equity in District 102 is when differences between people do not impede their achievement because all resources and opportunities are appropriate to their needs.
To ensure consistency in our Equity practices a series of committees are in place charged with providing substantive input into key district efforts and initiatives in the following areas:
Development of a district-wide equity policy.
Development of strategies that update hiring practices, requirements, and protocols.
Create professional development expectations and opportunities.
Development of action steps for family and community engagement.
Development of action steps for program access-talent development and tier support.
