Diversity Policy Belief Statements
The Broward County School District's four major belief statements
in Policy 1403 pertaining to diversity:
- We believe that diversity should be promoted so that isolation of racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups is avoided; the full benefits of integration are achieved and education is enhanced in a diverse, inclusive setting (Rule 2 (1)).
- We believe that all students and staff should have experiences that develop
interpersonal skills and sensitivity in working with others of diverse backgrounds
and abilities (Rule 2(m)).
- We believe in providing quality educational opportunities for all students in integrated environments that enhance success and promote understanding and appreciation of diversity, fair play and the positive tenets of a democracy (Rule 2(n)).
- We believe that both parent and community participation and parent and community
responsibility are essential to the positive social, emotional, cultural
and academic development of every child and adult (Rule 2(o)).
