We need to find more ways of talking to our students, allowing them to have a voice at the table.  Has or can our equity work helped to empower students of color?  I'd argue, not yet.

Learning to take nothing for granted. Example: Assuming that all hispanic people are from Mexico. Training in not assuming anything and getting to know each student, staff member, and parents as unique individuals.

Mandatory All Staff Trainings in culturally sensitive trainings that address Cultural Bias/Equity/Social Justice and how it shows up when engaging students and staff members. This is how I think we can continue to improve as a district/school

Why is our new superintendent another white guy? I don't know I can't come up with another other suggestion that hasn't already been explicitly stated but with the want to include more people of color, I personally believe it should be bottom up but also it's more powerful top down. -Anastashia

I wish we could analyze policies at the school and the district that are not equitable.

Intersectionality/transgender issues - I'm hearing a lot of transphobia among our students!

I think it's important to not only talk about equity, but have some sort of action steps for equity teams (if the team is there).  I appreciate that Endeavor did the racial autobiography, equity lessons, fishbowls.

I believe we need to start looking more at policies within our school and district to start making changes. I also wish we could get more staff development to start effecting changes in the classroom.

Having staff members use common commitments and language through beyond diversity has served the district and END well.

I think a separate and equally high level of focus on other groups of diverse students/people (like LGBTQ) through additional district initiatives/committees

One thing that Has served CCSD and/or Endeavor well in regard to equity is Restorative Practices being implemented at Endeavor and possibly throughout the district.

The focus on equity has helped give teachers tools to feel comfortable approaching topics about race, gender and sexual orientation with students.

I believe it has served the members on the Equity team as we are exploring topics, writing a racial autobiography and developing lessons for advisory.

We need a more diverse staff.  Likewise, "mandatory" equity training has to be taken seriously.  Too often, when confronted with equity, our peers shy away from engaging.  Obviously, I don't have the solution, but the problem is undeniable.

Fish Bowl conversations are very impactful

Hiring people who are open to improving their perspective on the issue of equity.

I appreciate the local schools meeting monthly to discuss how we can keep things immediate to our own population.  I think it's helpful to train everyone in the same model through the Beyond Diversity training.

One thing that needs to happen to move forward for the district is to focus on hiring and recruiting teachers/administrators of color.

One thing that has served the district well is the requirement that all staff members go through beyond diversity training.
