Our Commitment to Inclusion & Belonging
In support of the school’s mission and its work to ensure a vibrant, diverse community that honors all its members, the Montgomery School Board of Trustees embraces the values of inclusion and belonging.
The Board is committed to education and practices that include on-going oversight of, and measurement of progress in, the school’s efforts to uphold these values. Through its self-governance, the Board intentionally applies the same values to its own work and composition, carrying out initiatives, identifying gaps and following best practices at both the committee and full board level.
