Bickleton School District Equity Plan
The Bickleton School District's equity plan focuses on reducing inequities and disproportionality in student outcomes by implementing an Equity Lens in decision-making processes. This lens considers the potential impacts of policies, programs, and practices on historically marginalized groups. The plan aims to create a more equitable environment by proactively recruiting and supporting diverse staff, distributing resources equitably, reviewing data to identify and address achievement gaps, ensuring access to rigorous and culturally relevant materials and instruction, incorporating student voice, implementing culturally responsive practices, fostering a safe and respectful work environment, and holding each other accountable for addressing inequities. The plan includes a process for using the Equity Lens, involving questions to assess potential impacts and barriers to equitable implementation, and strategies for mitigation.
