Our Mission: The District 87 Social Justice Committee advocates that our district culture uplifts and empowers underrepresented, disadvantaged, and/or under-participating populations within our schools. We support policies that establish justice, equity, and compassion for all. We see a need to create safe, conversational spaces for staff, students, and parents to explore these issues.
Goals for 2018:
Engage in a D87 Social Justice Committee book study
Examine current practices of D87 through a social justice lens
Create conversations about multicultural competency
Increase participation of this committee to all D87 schools
Involve parents, students, and/or community members (Not In Our Town)
Create opportunities to interact/learn/be a part of cultures different than your own
Explore membership in the McLean County Social Justice Coalition
