EQUITY STATEMENT

EQUITY STATEMENT

The Yolo County Office of Education is committed to equity. For us, this means…
  • We create and maintain a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment within our organization
  • We pursue educational equity in serving the children, youth, and families of Yolo County. 
 
We value and celebrate everyone’s unique identity and appreciate the diverse perspectives, understandings, and talents that each staff member brings to our organization and that each student brings to school. We are committed to confronting our biases and assumptions and to dismantling the structures and practices within our system that create disparate opportunities and outcomes based on race, ethnicity, ability status, socioeconomic status, gender identity, and sexual identity.  These may include hiring practices; supervision and management of personnel; allocation of funding; norms for engaging with community organizations; curriculum selection and design; professional development; and interactions with children, youth, and families. 
 
We believe educational equity is achieved when the full range of learning opportunities is accessible and meaningful to every student, and when every student feels a sense of connectedness and belonging at school. Students flourish when educators develop strong relationships with students and learn about and build upon their strengths. We are committed to partnering with students, families, and the larger community to better understand who our students are; their values, goals, and aspirations; and the barriers they face.
 
We believe it is the responsibility of everyone in the organization to commit to ongoing learning and to continually reexamining and reconstructing our system and ourselves to ensure that every person in our system can engage, belong, and thrive.
