MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION

It is the policy of the District system to utilize the resources of curriculum, instruction, in-service, counseling, and guidance to reflect the racial, ethnic, language, and cultural heritage of both historical and modern day United States of America by observing the following objectives:

1. To select materials and methods that will eliminate bias and stereotype in our

schools.

2. To conduct in-service programs for our staff that will help them to understand

a MULTICULTURAL approach and to reflect it in their teaching and administrative duties.

3. To encourage all students to grow in self-esteem, and to understand and

develop their academic and human potential.

4. To guard against the grouping of students that reflect racial, ethnic language,

or cultural bias.
