Policies and Practices Summary Reports

The Equity Considerations for Policies Process supports the MPS policy review efforts established by the Board Policy Committee. When policies are periodically reviewed and updated or when new policies are proposed that significantly impact student learning, departments and policy owners are tasks to record in an Equity Considerations for Policies document how they have used an equity-driven lens to develop the policy revision or proposal.

The Equity Considerations for Practices Process is designed for departments to record how they have used an equity-driven process to propose changes to practices that significantly impact student learning. A practice is an expected procedure, process, repeated activity, or way of doing something, and is generally driven by a policy. Examples of changes to a practice include, but are not limited to, curriculum changes for pre-K through 12th grade students, changes to grading practices, and changes to required student assessments.
