The Coalition of Essential Schools: 10 Common Principles states, under the Democracy and Equity principle that “The school should demonstrate non-discriminatory and inclusive policies, practices, and pedagogies. It should model democratic practices that involve all who are directly affected by the school. The school should honor diversity and build on the strength of its communities, deliberately and explicitly challenging all forms of inequity.”

Goal: The board will support Parker students, families, faculty and staff to honor diversity and build on the strength of its communities, deliberately and explicitly challenging all forms of inequity.
