Purpose: To provide leadership within the SCJ by promoting a safe, positive, and nurturing environment within the school and classroom. This is done by creating and promoting events to foster the spirit of diversity and inclusion. In addition to engaging community members through training and conversation, the DEI Committee develops practices to recruit, support, promote and retain community members with diverse experiences. Another function of the committee is to assess SCJ policies and climate with an equity mindset; and to identify and share resources that contribute to the development of an inclusive environment and experience holistically.
