The purpose of the Miner Equity Team is to build and strengthen our community by ensuring that everyone is represented and that everyone has a voice that is heard. This is done by advising school leaders (administration, PTO, LSAT) about issues relating to equity and inclusiveness, as well as by taking direct action within our school community toward these same goals.

The Equity Team is a working group made up of and facilitated by parents who took part in the Kindred dialogue groups in spring 2019, along with other Miner parents, teachers, staff and community members who want to work collaboratively to advance equity and inclusiveness at Miner. While incorporating the trust and relationship-building components of a Kindred dialogue group, the Equity Team also focuses heavily on taking action to address equity-related challenges within the school community.

Membership is open to anyone in the Miner community who has an interest in increasing equity and inclusiveness in our school and our community. The specifics of what that means is up to the team members. Equity Team members are the heart of Miner's equity work and are responsible for taking the lead to identify needs, develop ideas, and put plans into action.
