In the fall 2020, we embarked on a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) Superintendent Initiative. We are therefore partnering with Colorado Education Initiative (CEI) to conduct a DEI audit.
One of the first steps is creating a Task Force. Comprised of 55 individuals who are parents/family members, patrons, high school students, teachers, staff, neighbors, and community leaders, the Task Force meets regularly with CEI and is charged with:
Providing informed recommendations
Examining our policies, practices, attitudes and behaviors
Evaluating qualitative and quantitative data, and reviewing research around best practice regarding DEI
