Training Topics
Commitment to Educational Equity
As a result of the passage of SB 5044 in the 2021 legislative session, school directors are required by law to receive training on the topics of equity, inclusion and cultural proficiency as they relate to education. WSSDA is required by that same law to develop and provide such training.
Educational equity is an outcome that is achieved when each and every student has what they need to develop their full academic and social potential. At the governance level, school directors have a significant influence on creating the conditions and holding the district accountable for educational equity through policies, budgeting and strategic goals and initiatives.
