Township High School District 211 is committed to increasing equity and fostering cultural responsiveness in our school community. In July of this past year, we established a District 211 Equity Team in order to include and affirm the voices of students, staff, and families from our community as we create an equity plan that will drive short-term and long-term systematic improvement.  Part of the Team’s mission is to build a greater sense of connection, involvement, and participation with all members of our district community. To accomplish this, we are engaging in an Equity and Cultural Audit conducted by Bea Young Associates, a Chicago consulting firm with decades of expertise in this field of education.

The Equity and Cultural Audit process will begin in February 2021 with the creation of focus groups that will allow us to include and affirm the voices from a representative sample of our school community.  The focus groups will be led by representatives from Bea Young Associates and will be organized into separate, homogeneous racial groups from each District 211 school.
