Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

  • The Conejo Valley Unified School District recognizes each child is unique and when differences are celebrated, a community of inclusivity, kindness, and respect results, which enhances the learning for all. CVUSD is committed to acknowledging historically marginalized individuals and/or communities by working together to break down barriers as well as ensuring full and equal access to opportunities and resources. 

  • We
    Believe
    Diversity

    includes but is not limited to race, color, ethnicity, nationality, religion, socio-economic status, veteran status, education, marital status, language, age, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental or physical ability, genetic information, and learning styles.

  • We
    Believe
    Equity

    is the guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. The principle of equity acknowledges that there are historically under-served and under-represented populations and that fairness regarding these unbalanced conditions is needed to assist equality in the provision of effective opportunities to all groups.

  • We
    Believe
    Inclusion

    means authentically bringing traditionally excluded individuals and/or groups into processes, activities, and decision/policy making in a way that shares power and ensures equal access to opportunities and resources.

Confidential Reporting

  • If you have, or know someone who has experienced an incident of racism, discrimination, harassment or bullying and you wish to remain anonymous, please complete the Confidential Incident Reporting Form:

    English

    Direct link

    Spanish

    Direct link

    We always encourage individuals to first communicate with adults at their school site.  However, we recognize that for some individuals this is not a path that feels safe or sufficient and therefore the confidential incident report form is available.  Designated central office staff within the Student Services Department receive the confidential reports and will reach out to you (if you provide contact information, though not required) and follow-up on the reports. 

Confidential Support

  • If a student or family are in need of support, specifically related to experiences with racism, discrimination, harassment and/or bullying, we have designated staff within the Student Services department prepared to provide support (e.g. resources and/or consultation).

    To access confidential support, please call 805-494-9367.  Designated staff will provide you with support and/or resources.  Bilingual Spanish available.  

Engagement with CVUSD Educational Partners to Strengthen DEI

  • Creating a learning environment that promotes access and equity for all students, especially for communities that have historically been marginalized and/or under-represented, is an ongoing pursuit. Hence, a District does not “arrive” at equity. There is much work ahead, yet we hope the information included in the following areas reaffirms to our community that diversity, equity and inclusion is a priority.
