The Oregon School District welcomes all children and families to our school community and works to promote an inclusive environment for all students.  We understand that racism is a systemic challenge in our society and that our actions must go beyond celebrating diversity in our schools or listing equity as a value. We must work together to challenge current systems and practices and focus on removing obstacles that contribute to systemic inequities. 

We partner with students, families, and valuable community partners like Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development, the National Equity Project and Critical Consciousness, LLC to more fully understand and act upon institutional and other forms of racism.

The Oregon School District is committed to providing a safe, secure and respectful learning environment for all students in school buildings, on school grounds and school buses, and at school-sponsored activities. Hate speech has a harmful social, physical, psychological and academic impact on our school community. The District will not tolerate any form of hate speech, and will consistently and vigorously seek to eliminate it. As such, the Oregon School District Board of Education has adopted a specific Anti-Hate Speech Policy.

Curriculum and student lessons focused on creating this safe, secure, and respectful learning environment are based on Social Justice Teaching Standards.
