What can I do in my own school for it to be more inclusive?
-
Encourage your own PTA board to add a Diversity & Inclusive Chair position to help apply the D&I to all PTA efforts and activities.
-
Include everyone at the PTA table
-
Listen to ALL voices so your PTA may be an inclusive voice for ALL children.
-
Have flexibility with meeting times. Offer a virtual and in-person option for all meetings to increase accessibility.
-
Provide childcare for your meetings as needed.
-
Integrate cultural holidays and events in all school and PTA calendars and communication
-
Increase diversity in classrooms and in school libraries.
