Mansfield Public Schools Equity Audit
In pursuit of equity and inclusion for all students, MPS has partnered with Mass Insight Education & Research, Inc. to conduct an Equity Audit, which is a comprehensive analysis of a district’s policies, practices, systems, along with experiences of its students, families, and staff to identify opportunities to expand equitable access to an excellent educational experience. The Equity Audit will include surveys, interviews, and focus groups. It will be conducted throughout the 2021 – 2022 school year.
Equity Audit Benefits
- Opportunity for all student, family, leader, staff, and community partner voices to be heard
- Understand how to help all students, families, and staff feel included, welcome, and safe
- Ensures alignment with the Massachusetts Student Opportunity Act
- Helps to close learning opportunity gaps
- Provides a clear understanding of strengths and areas for growth for the district
- Ensures that all students have what they need to succeed in school
- Used to develop a Strategic Plan to address any systemic inequities and align resources
We value your opinion! We invite you to participate in this process by:
