Invitation to Join the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Council
As you may have read in the Superintendent’s Message from February 26, there is an opportunity for all members of our community to come together as part of the West Genesee Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council. We recognize that we need to listen to the voices, experiences, and perspectives of people from diverse backgrounds in order to advance our mission and help all members of our community achieve success.
If you are interested in joining our West Genesee Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council, please read the mission statement below:
The West Genesee Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council embraces and honors each individual and the diversity of our collective community. We believe we all have a responsibility to educate ourselves and our community members about injustice and discrimination in all its forms.
The West Genesee Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council is committed to empowering all members of our community to have a say in our future as we work collectively to discover the richness and complexity of the cultural world we inhabit. We actively seek to understand the differences that make us stronger and to lean into topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This pursuit and belief prepares our students to be contributing members of a diverse world.
This council is open to all members of our community. Please fill out this Google form and a member of our team will contact you directly.
