The Colchester Board of Education firmly upholds equity, diversity, and inclusion as core principles within our school district. We stand together, honoring individuals of every background and identity, embracing diversity in races, socio-economic statuses, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, nationalities, and abilities. Our schools are bastions of safety and inclusivity for all. We are committed to nurturing genuine connections with every member of our school community, including culturally diverse families, and pledge to communicate with transparency and respect at all times.
