Cultural Diversity Code of Conduct 

 

Mukilteo School District is strongly committed to the strengths brought to us by the diversity of our community. That commitment means that individuals representing different cultural, ethnic, and racial communities interact in a positive, dynamic, and collaborative way while maintaining and valuing their differences. By each facility developing and maintaining an atmosphere that stresses individual growth and utilizes the strengths that cultural pluralism brings, the Mukilteo School District will continue to provide an enlivening, enriching experience which encourages cross-cultural understanding and builds community.

It is the personal responsibility of each individual in any Mukilteo school or facility to respect the personal dignity and worth of every person on the premises or involved in any school-sponsored activity or event. [Board Policy 2020]

 

 

  • The primary responsibility of the Mukilteo School District is to ensure that each student graduates’ career and college ready. Students shall be educated in environments that respect them as individuals, respect their families, and respect their cultural heritage in order to facilitate successful academic outcomes. This means each student is known by name, strength, and need.

    The Board acknowledges that institutional racism exists and that longstanding institutional biases have resulted in significant, measurable, system-wide achievement inequities for students. Understanding how individual identities such as race, language abilities, religion, disabilities, socioeconomic status, country of origin, sexual orientation, and gender intersect with education will allow us to reduce instances of inequity and disproportionality. Our shared focus is to eliminate racism, inequities, and institutional bias, which will help increase achievement and graduation rates for all students, while narrowing the academic and opportunity gaps between the highest and lowest performing students. [Board Policy 0540]

  • The District shall provide equal educational opportunity and treatment for all students in all aspects of the academic and activities program without regard to race, religion, creed, color, national origin, age, honorably discharged veteran or military status, sex, sexual orientation, including gender expression or identity, marital status, nonprogram-related physical, sensory, mental disabilities, or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a person with a disability.
