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

Meetings

  • March 9, 4 – 5:30 p.m.

  • March 30, 4 – 5:30 p.m.

  • April 13, 4 – 5:30 p.m.
