The meeting will deepen our ongoing attention to matters of educational equity, in this case through the lens of the recently adopted Excellence and Equity Board Policy in Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD).

Making it Matter: A Systems Approach to Advancing Equity and Excellence for Students
April 2023
As districts across the state resumed full-time instruction and began the task of pandemic recovery, members of the California Collaborative on District Reform convened three times in 2021-22 to continue and deepen their ongoing exploration of local strategies for meeting students' academic, social and emotional, and mental health needs. Of particular concern in these gatherings was the need to address systemic contributors to the persistent inequities in both educational opportunities and outcomes that the pandemic had accentuated. This brief and webinar summarize key takeaways from discussions among meeting participants exploring ways in which school systems center equity in their work.
