WCS Diversity Committee
About
Wilmington City Schools, in partnership with parents and community, will empower every student to be future-ready by providing a safe, diverse, and challenging environment. To that end, the school district will provide students with opportunities that promote respect for self and others and a curriculum which values the many varieties of human expression.
The district recognizes and values the interconnectedness of humanity and looks to the staff to lead this initiative. Our vision is as follows:
- All people will be treated with equality, dignity, and respect.
- All students will be educated to understand, accept and value all members of the world community.
- The community at large will join with us in support of this mission.
As superintendent of the Wilmington City School District I am firmly committed to ensuring civil rights compliance for students and staff as well as equal opportunity for employment including but not limited to: race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, marital or family status, political beliefs and parental status.
