Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
The purpose of this website is to provide an overview of the Board goals around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and to provide information on past and future work and or meetings around this topic.
At the EISD Strategic Summit in January of 2021, the Board set the following goals around DEI:
-
Create a shared understanding of DEI through racial equity leadership training to build capacity and support sustainability
-
Assess, monitor and work to modify the climate to ensure inclusivity for all staff and students
-
Develop a system of equity-focused restorative justice in support of all learners
-
Engage the broader community in a shared responsibility for DEI
-
Embed, over time, the ongoing importance of DEI in curricula, instructional materials and resources
-
Increase personal growth and learning of trustees, administrators, staff and students to support DEI efforts
-
Align DEI goals and their integration with Board policies, administrative procedures and the Eanes ISD Graduate/Staff Profile (WHEEL)
The primary goal is to continue to improve school climate by creating an environment where all of our students feel accepted and welcome.
In April of 2021 the Board adopted the District Improvement Plan which addresses several focus areas, including DEI (EISD District Improvement Plan, 2021-22)
