Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Team has developed a District Diversity Plan, which was approved by the Centerville Board of Education in July 2020.

Mission

To empower our community of learners with knowledge, skills and empathy to effectively engage a diverse world.

Vision

We will continually work to increase the cultural knowledge and self-awareness of our staff and student body. We will work to develop and enhance trusting relationships with our students and their families where all feel safe and encouraged to express their views. We will build a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates the uniqueness of all our families. We will encourage the recruitment and retention of diverse representations to have a staff reflective of the vibrant community we live in for the betterment of all.

Goals

1. Develop an awareness of one’s own cultural lens, diverse perspectives, and inequities in education and society.
2. Increase community engagement and parental involvement.
3. Recruit and retain staff from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations.
4. Remove barriers that impede the engagement of  all students in curricular and extracurricular activities.
