The Office of Cultural Diversity is committed to building a school district community in which all areas of cultural diversity are valued. Diversity enriches educational experiences by affording opportunities to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions that are often the foundation for insensitivity, misunderstanding, and conflict.
The Office of Cultural Diversity is committed to increasing knowledge and awareness of cultural differences, as well as eliminating bigotry, both overt and subtle.
Each student within the district is treated with respect, and supports are in place to ensure success for all children.
