Vision for Equity

The Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) Board of Education envisions a future in which social factors are not predictive of student outcomes in OKCPS. The board has a responsibility to ensure equitable and fair educational opportunities for all students by allocating resources fairly and equitably, providing diverse learning opportunities, and demonstrating a commitment to equity and fairness across the school district. Educational equity is defined as making decisions strategically based upon the principles of fairness, which includes providing a variety of educational resources, models, programs, and strategies according to student needs that may not be the same for every student or school with the intention of leading to equality of academic outcomes.

What We Believe About Equity in OKCPS

OKCPS recognizes our responsibility to eliminate past, present, and predictable barriers to student success by ensuring that all students have access to ambitious instruction from educators with high aspirations, to needs-based allocation of resources (people, time, money), and to the support and advocacy needed to engage in high-quality and empowering learning opportunities regardless of their race, income, or other social factors, and to ambitious instruction from educators with high aspirations.
