Superintendent of Schools Beth Schiavino-Narvaez has appointed an Equity 2020 Advisory Committee charged with helping the district reach educational equity for Hartford students across the district, the primary focus of the district’s strategic operating plan.
The Equity 2020 Advisory Committee is composed of parents, teachers, principals and community leaders. The group will be asked to help the district develop a plan that connects (a) facilities, (b) geography, (c) academic alignment and (d) school choice to maximize resources and opportunities for our students. The group will be asked to deliver recommendations to the Board of Education.
Equity 2020 will serve as the district’s facilities master plan to build a robust menu of high-performing theme-based schools with clear pathways for students. This results-driven strategy will ensure that every child is educated in a safe, healthy and supportive learning environment.
Equity 2020 materials will be posted on the website regularly. Please scroll down for more information and documents about this important community work.
