Problems of Inequitable Outcomes for Marginalized Groups

Problems of the Work of Equity

1. Inequitable student access (enrollment in accelerated coursework, participation in enrichment programs, etc.);
2. Disparities in discipline and attendance rates

1. Black students have been historically marginalized in all of the districts and continue to be even today.
2. Immigrant students and English Language Learners have become the “new minority” across the districts with a new set on challenges and institutional inequities
3. Issues of LGBTQ rights are emerging and remain extremely sensitive across the districts.

1. Staff and faculty don’t yet reflect the diverse student population
2. Culturally responsive curricula and programming
3. Engaging Families and Communities as partners
4. Advancing Equity work in districts is extremely challenging
1. Mindsets
2. Structures
3. Silos
4. Leadership (Central & School-level)

Access to the highest quality educational programs and resources across the district remains inequitably distributed based on race and income.

Despite years of effort, the system is failing to provide black students with the support and resources needed to ensure more equitable outcomes.

Despite a clearly articulated commitment to equity, the systems, structures and mindsets that perpetuate inequity remain largely unchanged.
