Every CPS �student experiences:

District Vision 2017 - 2020
CPS Definitions of Equity �and Racial Equity
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.
Racial equity means the absence of institutional and structural barriers experienced by people based on race or color, that impede access, opportunities, �and results.
7
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.
