CBE CARES - 反种族主义与公平支持咨询委员会

我们承认种族主义存在于社会和CBE（学校教育委员会）之中。作为一个学校教育系统，我们知道它对我们的学生和家庭产生影响。我们十分重视社会必须解决的问题，也必须在我们的学校中解决。我们不断听到学生、员工和公众要求我们在学校和工作场所更加努力地解决种族主义和歧视问题。我们认真对待这一行动的呼吁。我们在倾听，学习，并且会努力做得更好。

CBE已经采取了重要措施来促进公平和包容性的学习和工作环境，但我们意识到还有更多工作要做。在我们的任何学校或工作场所都不容许存在种族主义或歧视。

我们很高兴地宣布，CBE将设立一个反种族主义和公平咨询委员会，直接听取学生、员工、家长/监护人和整个CBE社区的意见。CBE反种族主义与公平支持咨询委员会（CBE CARES！）将从今年秋季开始召开会议，并提出建议和意见，以解决我们学校和工作场所中的种族主义问题。

除上述行动外，我们还将在即将到来的学年中引入以下措施：

• 提供补充教学资源，支持教师进行反种族主义教育。
• 在全年为所有员工提供的专业学习设计中，加入与公平和反种族主义相关的讨论，以及我们如何解决偏见的问题。
• 根据我们的家长关注协议，继续适当地回应学生、员工和家长/监护人提出的问题或投诉。
• 这个秋季将为所有CBE员工推出关于欺凌意识和预防的培训课程。

在接下来的几周和几个月里，我们将继续以开放的心态和思维倾听。我们将审查我们目前的政策和做法，如果需要，制定全新的政策和做法，特别解决我们学校和工作场所中的种族主义和歧视问题。我们会腾出时间参与持续的讨论，并将所学应用于改变我们的行为方式。如果我们希望所有学生都能够成功并取得最佳成绩，那么我们必须直面自己的偏见和质疑。

再次强调，在我们的任何学校或工作场所都没有种族主义或歧视的空间。如同以往一样，我们致力于与社区合作，营造包容的工作和学习环境，让每个学生、员工成员和家庭都感到安全，并知道他们将会受到公平对待。

​CBE CARES - Collaboration for Anti-Racism and Equity Support Advisory Council

We acknowledge racism exists in society and in the CBE. As a school system we know it impacts our students and families. Issues that must be addressed by our society must also be addressed in our schools. We continue to hear from students, staff and members of the public who demand that we do more to address racism and discrimination in our schools and workplaces. We take this call to action seriously. We are listening, we are learning, and we will work to do better.

The CBE has taken significant steps to promote equitable and inclusive learning and working environments, but we recognize more needs to be done. There is no room for racism or discrimination in any of our schools or workplaces.

We are pleased to announce that the CBE will establish an anti-racism and equity advisory council to hear directly from students, staff, parents/guardians, and the CBE community at large. The CBE Collaboration for Anti-Racism and Equity Support Advisory Council – or CBE CARES! – will meet starting this fall and will provide suggestions and advice on how to address racism in our schools and workplaces.

We have also introduced an equity factor to our resource allocation method to account for variability in student needs in schools across our system. This change will ensure that we better allocate resources to support student success where it will have the greatest impact.

In addition to the above actions, we will introduce the following during the upcoming school year:

• Provide supplementary teaching resources to support teachers with the teaching of anti-racism.
• Embed in the design of professional learning offered throughout the year, for all staff, discussions related to equity and anti-racism and how we address bias.
• Continue to respond appropriately to issues or complaints raised by students, staff and parents/guardians consistent with our parent concerns protocol.
• A bullying awareness and prevention training course for all CBE employees will launch this fall.

In the coming weeks and months, we will continue to listen with open hearts and open minds. We will review our current policies and practices and, if needed, develop new ones that specifically address racism and discrimination in our schools and workplaces. We will make time to engage in ongoing discussions and apply what we learn to change our behaviours. If we want all students to be successful and achieve to the best of their ability, then we must confront our own biases and challenge assumptions.

Again, there is no room for racism or discrimination in any of our schools or workplaces. As always, we are committed to working with our communities to foster inclusive work and learning environments where every student, staff member and family feels safe and knows that they will be treated fairly.
