Description
Governance with an Equity Lens
A Systemic Approach to Closing Equity Gaps in Public Education
Purpose:
In order to ensure ongoing professional learning opportunities as well as the evolution of the equity leadership journey of school boards across California, CSBA is expanding the equity network that began in 2019. This equity network is designed to provide school board governance teams with systemic approaches to identify and address practices, policies and behaviors that perpetuate inequities in public education. This equity network was established to explore how CSBA can better support school board members in making equity driven decisions.
The design of this year-long equity network will provide a platform for school board members to collaborate and build capacity to govern through the lens of equity that will lead to improved opportunities and outcomes for historically and marginalized students. The equity network provides the opportunity for learning that will support the development of ongoing professional learning services for the association. Facilitators will offer best practices that can be immediately developed and implemented at the school level while engaging all stakeholders and encouraging student voice as a valued and necessary contributor to positive change towards equity.
Outcomes:
- Develop/adopt an equity statement
- Develop/adopt an equity policy
- Strategically develop/evolve the equity impact action plan
Cohort V:
The Equity Network training is a year-long network that will provide a platform for superintendents and 2 trustees to collaborate and build capacity to govern through the lens of equity that will lead to improved opportunities and outcomes for historically and marginalized students. Facilitators will offer best practices that can be immediately developed and implemented at the school level while engaging all stakeholders and encouraging student voice as a valued and necessary contributor to positive change towards equity.
