Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The Grand Ledge Public Schools (GLPS) is committed to fostering a learning and work environment that values and promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion. We aim to develop, implement, and maintain equitable, inclusive, and just policies, programs, curricula, and practices. The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee (EDIC) is being instituted to: listen to the varied perspectives and experiences of GLPS students, families and staff members, and ensure the academic needs of students and families are met.

Membership Criteria: 1) Is passionate about achieving educational equity and justice for students who have been negatively impacted by systemic bias; 2) Is willing to engage in critical self-reflection and collective learning about race, culture, power, and privilege and how these constructs impact education; 3) Is interested in working with a diverse group of people to achieve equitable learning outcomes for GLPS students
