Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (new in 2023)
We celebrate diversity and value belonging at Charter, so we are proud to present our first DEI committee. 'Community' is in our name and we commit to being inclusive in every sense. Our goal this year is to gather a diverse group of families, staff, and administrators to listen and learn what we are doing well and what we need to do better to be an equitable place for everyone. This will be a year of active listening and discovery. Chair: Lindsay Smith
