perpetuate the educational and health inequities harming
students and families of color.
Here are guidance and tools to cultivate safe and restorative environments;
illuminate implicit bias and eliminate discriminatory behavior; ensure equitable access
to services and supports; promote equity and social justice; and prioritize the health
and well-being of all members of the school community.
