SLVUSD Diversity Equity Inclusion Belonging (DEIB) Committee

San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District’s (SLVUSD) DEIB committee is dedicated to implementing systemic changes that create and foster an inclusive environment. We envision an educational community where all SLVUSD students, staff and families feel safe, seen, appreciated, respected, and included, – not regardless of – but with consideration and appreciation of our differences. 

SLVUSD recognizes and values diversity such as sex, gender-identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship status, age, faith, sexual orientation, ability, and socioeconomic class and also respects personal traits such as life and lived experience, family structure, educational background and communication style that are influenced by their identities and experiences. 

 SLVUSD will ensure students, staff, and families experiences in our system are equitable and   provide the agency our students need to thrive. We aim to create an environment that fosters  independent thinkers who improve the world around them with compassion, empathy and  understanding.

Key Focus Areas and Responsibilities of Our Team:

1. Identify strategic priorities, goals and timelines
2. Advance DEIB goals (subcommittee actions)
3. Communicate initiatives set to the broader community
