Mission Statement
The Hudson City School district stands united in fostering inclusive environments, in which ALL are empowered to achieve through equitable opportunities. We value the diversity that exists within our community, and strive to dismantle systemic barriers through culturally responsive instruction, broadening perspectives, and building connections.
The motive behind the creation of the DEI group is to generate conversations to understand the current efforts, in-house policies and beliefs around DEI, fine-tune those practices and ultimately implement based on needs and opportunities. The group will be operating off of the foundation of creating an equitable and inclusive community by continuously learning, sharing and listening.
