Presidents Council Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee

3/13/2023 8:41 am

Diversity means having a range of people with various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds and various lifestyles, experience, and interests.

Equity ensures everyone has access to the same treatment, opportunities and advancement. Equity aims to identify and eliminate barriers that prevent the full participation of certain groups. 

Equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge as well as make adjustments to fix imbalances.

Inclusion builds a culture of belonging by actively inviting contribution and participation of all people.

You can reach out to Myani Lawson, our DEI/Advocacy Liaison, at myani.lawson@maplewoodmiddleschool.org with any concerns, feedback and ideas.
