• Indigenous Education

    During the 2020-2021 school year, CCSD has partnered with members of our indigenous community to form CCSD's Indigenous Parent Action Committee (IPAC). This committee is comprised of Indigenous parents/guardians and staff. The committee meets monthly and focuses on the following:

     

    • Illuminating the presence of CCSD's Indigenous community
    • Amplifying the voices of the Indigenous community by working directly with district leaders to make changes necessary to better serve Indigenous students and families
    • Forming cross-district partnerships to strengthen the Indigenous community network
    • Naming the continuous problems of practice embedded in the CCSD learning experience interfering with Indigenous students' academic and social-emotional success (i.e. problematic curriculum resources, erroneous representation and/or lack thereof, microaggressions, normalized harmful traditions/practices i.e. Halloween, Thanksgiving )
    • Affirming and honoring Indigenous students' presence and cultural identities
