Superintendent David Law has traveled the state speaking to school districts about equity, but to do so, he's had to ask himself some tough questions about his own district.

"We want to look at ourself with an open mind and say, 'what are we missing, what is not happening that we can change and get better results for all students,'" Law explains.

In January 2018, the district started working on the equity achievement plan. It consists of eight priorities; four deal with district climate, things like recruiting and retaining staff of color.

"Students of color are so positively impacted when a teacher of color is in front of them, but more than that, it's beneficial for all students to see a diverse group of teachers," Law said.

One option the plan lays out would be to offer current students more opportunities to explore education as a career.

Two priorities deal with curriculum and two others with student engagement, things like elevating the student voice and leadership in schools.

"At Champlin Park High School, one of our most diverse schools, the black graduation rate was almost 90 percent, which is significantly above the state average, and we're really proud of that, that shows those kids were connected and found success at that school," Law said.

He also acknowledges there will likely be pushback with any potential change.

"I think there is a fear we will be lowering expectations to find success for every student, which no parents wants to lower expectations, I think that's the fear, academically we'll be lowering expectations or behaviorly we will be lowering expectations. Absolutely not, we want every student to feel welcome, connected, engaged, and successful," Law said.

The school board meeting on Monday will be the first opportunity for the public to see and hear about the plan.
