Equity Multilingual SRTS information Community engagement with priority populations Other: In 2012, the District established the Equity Promise: Mounds View Public Schools is committed to preparing all students for opportunities of their choice after high school, whether they choose college, a trade school, technical college, the military or employment. Programs and services will be in place at all schools to ensure that race, gender, class and disability will not predict students' success. Student academic performance will not fall into patterns identifiable by factors such as race, ethnicity, English language proficiency, socio-economic status and disability. The school that a student attends will not be the predictor of his/her school success. In addition, in 2020 an Equity Promise update goal was established to establish a District Equity Council, Improve and enhance supports for people of color and other underrepresented students with a focus on college and career planning. Establish annual training for staff in the areas of anti -racism, implicit bias, equity and inclusion. Redesign curriculum and materials to be more culturally responsive and to include absent narratives. Review systems and structures for placement of students into courses. Review District policies and regulations through the lens of anti -racism. Increase the number of staff of color across our workforce.

Areas of Focus include - Move the District beyond tolerance and celebration to inclusivity, achievement and respect. - Consult District on policies, programs, guidelines and practices Create shared and committed leadership. - Work to increase public confidence through school/community relationships. - Inclusive curriculum and assessment practices. - Promote school climate and the prevention of discrimination and harassment. - Promote professional learning. - Promote accountability and transparency.

The District also has three Equity Specialist staff positions dedicated to develop a positive building climate and promote educational equity, achievement and post -secondary readiness for each student.
