Equity work involves focused, sustained effort in order to create long-term change. The District recently completed an equity audit. Through that process the District identified 5 high-priority recommendations to guide the District's work in the immediate future. These priority recommendations will help provide coherence and focus for our work as a District:
Priority Recommendations: 3-5 Year Commitment
- Create an Equity Communication Plan to develop key messages around equity to share both internally and externally.
- Select and implement an Equity Decision-Making Framework for all decisions made within WPS.
- Develop an Equity Data Collection, Tracking, and Reporting Plan.
- Hire a Director of Human Resources with an explicit focus on equity and workforce diversity.
- Create an Equity-Aligned Professional Learning Plan to ensure equity and culturally responsive practices are embedded in every professional learning opportunity in the district.
