Division X Webinar: Equity 101
2025-09-12 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
You are invited to join the first session of a new series of equity-centered Lunch and Learn webinars sponsored and facilitated by Division X. Session One: Starting with Why: Equity, Purpose, and Shared Understanding” is the beginning of Division X’s Equity 101 series, designed to build shared language around equity and explore why it matters in every district—rural, suburban, and urban alike.
Together, we’ll explore:

What equity really means in the context of school governance
Why equity matters even when a district doesn’t see itself as “diverse”
How a clear and shared understanding of equity strengthens decision-making and improves student outcomes

This series is open to all members and is especially valuable for those seeking to strengthen their capacity to govern with clarity, purpose, and equity at the center.
