Equity Advisory Committee Application Process
With the adoption of the Equity Policy by the EWSD Board on June 15, 2021, District leadership is now eager to establish the EWSD Equity Advisory Committee.
The Equity Advisory Committee will provide ongoing feedback to EWSD leaders in order to implement, operationalize, monitor, and evaluate the District's equity goals. The Committee will hold one two-hour meeting each month. Members of the committee will receive $50 stipends for each meeting, including any additional meetings needed. The commitment would be for one year with the option to renew for another year.
We wish to draw from all parts of the EWSD community informing the Committee; thus, community members, EWSD employees, and students are encouraged to apply.
To apply, please complete the application here by September 27, 2021.
