Background: The purpose of the Equity Guidebook is to support all MPS employees in building, nurturing, engaging in, and sustaining equitable practices that address disparities and marginalization impacting students, staff, and families.

Diverse resources are provided to foster and develop awareness, knowledge, and skills across a range of equity related topics including but not limited to race, ethnicity, racism, culture, language, gender, social justice, academic achievement, and social emotional learning.

Because the equity guidebook is a living document, the inclusion of a matrix allows the district and schools to examine yearly progress as it relates to the following goals:
• Equity in Academics
• Equity in Cultural and Linguistic Awareness and Responsiveness
• Equity in Human Resources
• Equity in Finance
• Equity for Students, Families, Educators, and Community Stakeholders
