Dr. Hansen's Call To Action:
Common RUSD Goal:
To create inclusive and equitable learning environments for all
Our Call to Action:
Continue to reflect on your own mindset regarding race and privilege.
Begin to dismantle inequities for all students and staff (policies, practices, procedures).
Listen to the voices of students, families, and employees (what are their stories?).
Go out and ACT NOW!
This video was posted at the beginning of the school year, but still has good tips for communication with our students.
