Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Framework
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Framework at Aurora Public Schools (APS) is designed to guide our district's efforts in creating an inclusive and equity-driven school district for all students, staff, and families. This framework was designed to respond to the Board Limitation 1: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and in alignment with Limitation Progress Measure 1.1: Systems and Structures for DEI Decision Making, stating that APS will create an equity focused decision making framework that will be used to inform recommendations made by the Superintendent to the Board related to major decisions as outlined in Policy BEDB. This framework is adapted from the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) Racial Equity Framework and the Liberatory Design Framework from The National Equity Project. These frameworks have been intentionally reimagined to meet the specific needs of our educational community.
