Equity in Policy

In the Newington Public Schools, educational equity means ensuring just outcomes for each student, raising marginalized voices, and addressing the imbalance of power and privilege.*  To achieve this, the Board is committed to developing policy that eliminates any form of marginalization or suppression of any group based on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, body type, or body size, and/or indigenous communities historically underserved. 

We ensure equity through policy by applying an "Equity Lens" during the policy review, approval and implementation process.
