What does the Board Equity Policy Advisory Committee do?
The committee provides racial equity-focused policy and practice revisions and recommendations to NWRESD's board of directors. These recommendations typically address topics related to discrimination, racism and prejudice with the goal of creating a more antiracist, multicultural organization.
Members of the committee are essential for helping guide the district as we strive to meet the needs of our diverse students.

- have a strong interest in educational equity issues,
- can engage in the process of institutional change related to equity and antiracism, and
- have experiences across multiple dimensions of diversity are encouraged to apply.
