Opportunity, Unity and Excellence Through Equity
-
Upper Darby School District recognizes that a commitment to equity is an ongoing, daily practice that must be implemented with fidelity and authenticity by all members of the organization. The Equity Plan is a comprehensive plan aimed at identifying and addressing systemic barriers to quality education for all students and addressing persistent educational and opportunity gaps faced by students based on race, ethnicity, gender, language, disability, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. Through onging staff professional development, we seek to produce the deep personal, professional, and organizational transformations that are necessary to create equitable places of learning for all of our children. The Equity Plan seeks to strengthen the District's equity lens in its analysis of the impact of policy and practice on historically underserved, underrepresented, and marginalized individuals and groups and resulting barriers and roadblocks to success.
