Developing the Budget | CPS Equity Definition
Our budget process seeks to align our resources to the District Plan and to ensure that our commitment to equity for all students guides decisions about resource allocation.
RACIAL EQUITY
Achieving racial equity requires proactive and continuous investment in communities of color, who have endured centuries of systemic oppression. CPS is committed to dismantling structures rooted in white privilege, to hearing and elevating underrepresented voices, and recognizing and eliminating bias.
Equity means that each student, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or socioeconomic status will have access to the opportunities, resources, and support they need �to attain their full potential.
EQUITY
Racial equity means the absence of institutional and structural barriers experienced by people based on race or color, that impede access,
opportunities, and results.
