School-based Equity Teams

Here, in Evergreen Public Schools, each of our schools has a school-based Equity Team. This became a requirement for all schools as of the 2022-23 school year. School-based Equity Teams are a diverse group of school stakeholders who inform and support the school's efforts to eliminate the predictability of outcomes by demographic group and provide students with what they need to be successful. This year, representatives from each school team meet monthly with Equity department staff to:

  Representatives then take this information back to their school teams to implement.
