Board member to draft resolution reaffirming commitment to equitable education; staff to route to legal and policy committee
Summary
Board member Miss Daniels said she will draft a resolution or statement reaffirming the board’s commitment to providing a quality, equitable education to all students; she will route the draft to legal counsel, communications, and the policy committee for review.
Board member Miss Daniels told the board she had drafted a resolution reaffirming the Board of Education’s commitment to providing a quality education to all children and asked the board to review it ahead of placing it before the policy committee.
Miss Daniels said the resolution is intended to restate the board’s commitment to equity and to reassure families amid national education debates. She said she based the draft on the district’s existing equity statement and equity policy and offered to circulate the text to board members and to send it to the legal department and communications for review.
Board members asked whether the item should be a resolution or policy; Miss Daniels said she intended a resolution or statement and that the policy committee could review it before any formal adoption. The board directed staff (legal and communications) and Superintendent Brooks (named by a board member in the meeting) to handle routing and to place the item on the committee/board calendar for consideration.
No vote was held; the item will be reviewed by legal and the policy committee before any formal action.
