District 15 has an Equity Committee comprised of district and school staff that works to ensure that all students are accepted and treated equally regardless of their background and that they can come to school and flourish in an environment that is safe and inclusive for all young learners. To that end, bullying, intimidation, and harassment diminish a student’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate. Preventing students from engaging in these disruptive behaviors and providing all students equal access to a safe, non-hostile learning environment are important District goals.
