St. Mary’s County Public Schools is proud to announce the launching of its new diversity and equity website on Monday, February 4, 2013. This website can be accessed by going to www.smcps.org and clicking on the diversity quick link located on the left hand side of the screen.
It was created to keep parents and community members informed of the many diversity and equity related initiatives taking place throughout the St. Mary’s County Public Schools’ system.
This site serves numerous purposes, including an explicit definition for diversity that the school system operates according to, keeping the public informed of upcoming diversity events, providing a diversity reading list, a photo gallery and video archive of events taking place throughout the schools, a list of community partnerships, teaching and learning resources to aid in fostering an awareness of multicultural and diversity recognition months, and it chronicles documents that identify milestones in the work conducted toward eliminating the achievement gap.
For more information, please contact Dr. Charna L. Lacey, Diversity and Equity Specialist, at 301-475-5511, ext. 193.
