Equity Statement
CSBA is committed to educational equity, recognizing that all students bring diverse assets, abilities, and needs. School boards have an obligation to provide all students with the access and
opportunities necessary for college, career, and life success. Intentional governance decisions that combat institutional discrimination and sources of bias are essential for all students to
achieve their full potential. CSBA will offer training, services, and advocacy so that school boards can address practices, policies and barriers that perpetuate inequities.
