Inclusion Diversity + Equity
The Barstow School is committed to building and sustaining a school community that highly values inclusion and diversity, supports racial equity and justice, and promotes equal opportunities for all.
Our Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (ID+E) Committee is charged with examining all aspects of school culture to ensure that our mission and values are applied equally to every student, family, faculty and staff member.
During the summer of 2020, the Barstow Diversity Committee was expanded and members began examining practices including, but not limited, to admission and employment practices, curriculum and outreach. The committee will make recommendations to the administration and Board of Trustees and assist with the implementation of sustainable practices that promote positive change. Members of the Barstow Diversity Committee bring a wide range of experience, expertise and perspectives to this work.
