At Rochester Community Schools, we continually strengthen our commitment to an inclusive learning environment where individuals are safe, valued and respected. The RCS District Equity Statement serves as a commitment to honor and affirm the complete humanity of all students, staff, caregivers and individuals within our organization. This is just one of the many ways we work with intention to continue advancing the hope and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

DISTRICT EQUITY STATEMENT: Rochester Community Schools is committed to providing an equitable education that prepares all students for an interdependent, evolving world. We believe in a unified culture of belonging for all. We recognize that systemic inequities exist that create educational equity gaps among various identity groups, specifically those who have been marginalized. Through a multifaceted approach of inclusion, we commit to creating opportunities and access, protecting the well-being of all, eliminating barriers, and educating within a safe environment where all individuals are valued, respected, included, welcomed and acknowledged.
