Student Equity and Access

First established as the Office of Equity at the start of the 2020-2021 School Year (to promote the District's mission of becoming a more diverse, equitable and inclusive school organization), the Department of Student Equity and Access services to ensure that LPS pre-K through 12th grade learners have equitable access to educational opportunities through learning experiences, programs, resources and services provided by the District. 

The Department of Student Equity and Access works closely with school administrators, district leaders and stakeholder groups to shape, promote and implement the strategic plan while promoting a culture of inclusion.
