Multicultural Education Policy Feedback

Chicago Public Schools is committed to continually examining our systems and practices to identify how equity can be centered in our classrooms every day.

Currently, two Board of Education policies, the Multicultural Education and Diversity Policy and the New Collection Development for School Libraries Policy, are under review by the Offices of Equity and the Office of Teaching and Learning. We are looking for input from the community to help inform these policy revisions and better serve our students and communities.
