A message from PUSD
Equity Advisory Committee
December 2023
Dear PUSD Community,
We are looking forward to continuing with the Equity Advisory Committee. Thank you for your patience as we spent the first few months focused on scaling work at school sites and engaged in thoughtful planning around our next steps to ensure racial equity and inclusion throughout PUSD.
This committee includes representative parents/guardians, students, and staff perspectives in an advisory role regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan for Racial Equity and Inclusion. The Equity Advisory Committee will learn together, listen to input from others, and add value to our District improvement efforts.
The committee will:
Provide input and feedback on the ongoing work within the District focused on racial equity and inclusion
Provide input regarding the revision of the Racial Equity and Inclusion Plan, with an emphasis on metric development
Provide recommendations for next steps in ensuring every student and adult feels safe, valued, seen, and heard
Support consistent communication of equity improvement efforts back to school communities
We know that diverse perspectives from across our District and feeder patterns will enrich our efforts to ensure every student and adult feels safe, valued, seen, and heard.
The Equity Advisory Committee will meet four (4) times during the 2023-2024 school year. All meetings are scheduled in person at the District Office in the Community Room. The meeting dates are below:
Wednesday, January 10, 2024 - 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Monday, February 5, 2024 - 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Wednesday, March 13, 2024 - 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Wednesday, May 15, 2024 - 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
We need assurance you plan to attend all four meetings this year if you apply to be on the committee. All new or returning members must reapply this year through the form. Prior experience does not guarantee participation for the upcoming year. We look forward to continuing the amazing work in progress.
