Special Education Design Team
The Special Education Design Team This provided a brief overview of their Phase I progress including their racial equity purpose statement. The racial equity purpose statement says:
"At St. Louis Park Public Schools, every student, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status or neurodiversity, deserves the opportunity to thrive as empowered leaders and advocate for their individual needs. Our commitment as anti-racist educators is to challenge the status quo and “excavate deep-seated racism within the public school system.” (Mayes)
We embrace neurodiversity and recognize the unique strengths and perspectives of our Black, Indigenous, Latine, Asian, and People of Color (BILAPOC) as well as neurodiverse students. St. Louis Park Public Schools
upholds an inclusive environment where all students feel valued, heard, and equipped with the tools necessary to advocate for themselves throughout their lives.
We hold ourselves accountable for fostering advocacy, inclusion, and high expectations for all students. Together, we transform special education practices to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed, thrive, and lead with confidence in their identities."
