Commitment and Diversity
 
Diversity is the differences that define each of us individually, and collectively. These differences include race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, disability, or skill level. By recognizing, respecting, and valuing these differences, CMS can capitalize on the benefits that diversity brings to its environment."


Organizational Commitment


The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education is committed to a world class school system which supports educational excellence regardless of race, gender, national origin, different abilities, or religion. Equitable academic programs and services which respond to the needs of a diverse student population and which prepare all students for a changing workplace and pluralistic society are essential.  Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools is committed to recognizing, respecting, and valuing diversity throughout the organization.

"Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will acknowledge and appreciate the value of diversity throughout the curriculum, instruction, and staff development." (Multicultural Education Policy IFC, Adopted by the BOE January 12, 1993)
