Supporting All Families

Core Beliefs that Guide our Work

We believe that every student, staff and community stakeholder should be treated equitably. Our focus is to eliminate disparities among all groups. ​​​​​​

Central School District 13J is committed to the success of every student, including but not limited to, an individual's perceived or actual race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, age, mental or physical disability, pregnancy, familial status, and/or economic status, of any other persons with whom the individual associates. For that success to occur, the District Equity Committee is committed to:

  • Creating a culture where barriers are removed for students to prepare them to be successful in school, career, college and community.

  • Being actively anti-racist 

  • Elevating student, staff, and family voices;

  • Providing an environment where students see themselves in the curriculum they currently receive and are able to fully participate in the education they are currently receiving.

  • Facilitating purposeful and vulnerable conversations to talk about race and create equitable change;

  • Providing staff with tools that honor diversity, accuracy of history, and pedagogical practices focused on inclusion and empowerment

  • Providing professional learning, training, and support to empower all associated with Central 13J: Board, administration and licensed and classified staff to be intersectional and anti-racist.
