Purpose Statement:
The ECCE Advisory Council ("Council") exists to advise and inform the District on issues related to educational equity and corresponding practices. The Council acknowledges that structures exist that have prevented some parents/guardians of historically under served and other marginalized groups from fully accessing and engaging in the K-12 educational system. As a result, the Council places an intentional focus on amplifying the voices and perspectives of parents/guardians who represent historically under served and other marginalized communities.
