What must be done…

Schools must respect the history, culture, knowledge and wisdom of communities they serve and incorporate this into their curriculum. Structures must be created to generate greater inclusivity so that the schools and communities use a variety of methods to communicate with each other effectively. In order to accomplish this, schools must employ practices and policies that value and promote diversity. Schools, coupled with communities, need to examine practices and policies that foster inclusivity for all students. Schools must ensure that they monitor practices and policies in order to fully adhere to the letter and spirit of the law regarding non-discrimination and increased access and inclusion for diverse students and their parents.
