Background: The purpose of the Equity Guidebook is to provide resources that support MPS employees, students, families, and community stakeholders in building, fostering, engaging in, and advancing equitable practices.

These resources are designed to foster awareness, build knowledge, and develop skills across a variety of topics related to equity, access, and inclusion, including academic achievement, social-emotional learning, race, ethnicity, culture, language, gender, and enhanced learning opportunities.
The five goals outlined in the guidebook are aligned with the district’s Equity Administrative Policy and Procedure 1.06, the Five Priorities for Success, and the Five-Year Strategic Plan. These goals also reflect a commitment to fostering a diverse range of districtwide initiatives aimed at promoting equity, access, and inclusion. Together, they provide a comprehensive framework for driving meaningful change and ensuring equitable outcomes for all.

Goals:
• Equity in Academics
• Equity in Cultural and Linguistic Awareness and Responsiveness
• Equity in Human Resources
• Equity in Finance
• Equity for Students, Families, Educators, and Community
