Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

SFASD is a community committed to sharing values of diversity and inclusion. We firmly believe that we can best promote our values by recruiting and retaining a diverse group faculty and staff and by creating a climate of respect that is supportive of their success with our students and families. We recognize that the responsibility for diversity and inclusion lies with all of us at SFASD: leadership, administration, faculty, staff and students.

The Diversity and Inclusion Committee seeks to facilitate the school district’s ongoing and continuing efforts to promote an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity in order to prepare students to become members of a global community and increase staff awareness of differences within our school community.
