Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The Saratoga Springs City School District is committed to building a welcoming, inclusive school community where every student feels valued and supported. We engage students, staff, families, and community members in meaningful conversations and shared learning that promote respect, belonging, and both academic and personal growth.

This work is grounded in the District’s Pathways Vision: “The Saratoga Springs school community will empower all learners in an engaging, collaborative environment to discover their personal pathways to the future.” Guided by the core beliefs of equity of opportunity, collaboration, community, and personalization, the District remains dedicated to ensuring each student has access to the opportunities, support, and experiences they need to succeed.

NYS Board of Regents Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Framework

The New York State Board of Regents launched an initiative to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in schools across the New York State. As first steps in the initiative, the Board released a policy statement and a draft framework and call to action for all schools in New York State to develop policies that advance diversity, equity and inclusion as a priority in their schools.

In 2021, the Saratoga Springs Board of Education adopted an Equity, Inclusivity & Diversity In Education Policy and approved an Equity, Inclusivity & Diversity In Education Regulation.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee

The District Equity & Inclusion Committee supports our district’s Pathways Vision and ongoing work in creating a more equitable, inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment for all students, staff, and community members. This committee has been engaged in conversation and is developing action plans to recommend policies and implement practices designed to promote diversity, facilitate growth in becoming a culturally competent school community, and improve access, opportunity, and outcomes for all students.
