WHAT IS DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION ?
The Cal High community recognizes diversity values differences and similarities among people through its actions and accountability. These characteristics include age, ethnicity, gender, language and culture, and socioeconomic status, among many different things.
When PTSAs respect differences yet acknowledge shared commonalities uniting their communities, and then develop meaningful priorities based on their knowledge, they genuinely represent their communities. When PTAs represent their communities, they gain strength and effectiveness through increased volunteer and resource support.
As stated by California State PTAs: Inclusion is a commitment to involve the entire school community in planning, as well as enjoying, PTSA programs and activities. Bringing in many different views is the key to building a robust and meaningful PTSA in our community. Members come with their own views, experiences, cultural heritage and traditions, skills and abilities, values, and preferences. California's public schools are a rich weave of these diverse threads, and their PTSAs must be as well.
- Recognize that the involvement of diverse populations enriches PTSA activities and enhances the well-being of all children and youth.
- Listen to all voices so that your PTSA can be an effective voice for ALL children.
- Celebrate diversity. Break down barriers that discourage people or minimize their involvement.
- Include in your active membership a representation of all ethnic, cultural, religious, economic, and social groups in the community.
- Ask: Are there largely underrepresented groups of your student population missing from your PTSA active membership? Is there enough representation from all groups to give an understanding needed to be advocates for all children? Does your PTSA seek a diverse membership?
