Agenda Item Summary:
|
During the 2020-2021 school year, Alexandria City Public Schools embarked on an innovative equity audit of all School Board policies. This brief provides an update on the Intercultural Development Research Association (IDRA EAC-South) support, the equity policy audit timeline, the progress made since the initiative began in December 2020 as well as next steps for the 2022-2023 school year.
|
|
Background:
|
Guided by the five goals of the ACPS Strategic Plan 2025: Equity for All with racial equity at its heart, the policy audit team met with multiple organizations in an effort to secure a consultant partner for conducting the equity audit of School Board policies. During the search, IDRA EAC-South was secured based on their policy experience and expertise and their ability to support the work through a federal grant without an expense incurred by ACPS.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
The Interim Superintendent recommends the School Board review the updated equity audit timeline and attached IDRA report of policies reviewed in preparation for upcoming policy audit revisions.
