Overview of the Goal:

With the growing social and demographic changes in Henrico County, it is necessary to plan and prepare all county students, families and community stakeholders to be able to productively engage and collaborate to foster access and equity for all. Henrico County Public Schools will educate and embrace the individual’s contributions, creating a culturally responsive community.

Strategic Goal:

Henrico County Public Schools will leverage its strength of diversity and lead dialogue to ensure equity and access for all.

Support staff in using established common language about equity and diversity to empower community stakeholders to find their voices in the effort by providing ongoing education.

Create opportunities to celebrate and recognize those engaged in the ongoing process of equity and diversity (inclusivity) work.

Engage in ongoing discourse of division- and school-level policies and protocols with stakeholders, to ensure the disruption of systems that perpetuate inequities.

Establish and provide ongoing support of Elementary Coalition and Secondary Equity Teams. These teams will be the driving force at the school level toward inclusion and equity for all students.

Develop and implement an equity leadership framework for a student voice program (such as high school equity ambassadors) that elevates student voices about equity issues
