MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
The School Board recognizes that America has always been a multicultural society composed of diverse peoples who came here from all parts of the globe. Public schools are the most common shared experience for most Americans, and it is the job of the schools to accurately reflect the contributions of all ethnic groups to the common culture.
Students must learn to respect and work cooperatively with persons of all backgrounds. Instruction should help students realize the value of individual differences as well as the human dignity and worth common to all people.
