Call for applications for Equity and Access Committee by Sept. 14
Families, staff, students and community members are encouraged to apply for consideration to serve on the Equity and Access Committee. Interested individuals are encouraged to apply by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
The purpose of this committee is to collaboratively examine equity and access barriers for students and families of Meridian School District. We will develop an equity policy and an equity analysis tool, a requirement from OSPI for our Academic and Student Well Being Recovery Plan. Our aim is to better understand and address eliminating barriers so we may recognize, embrace, and protect the dignity of each student as a valued and important member of our school community.
Visit the committee webpage to learn more about this committee, open positions and timeline.
