Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s):
The Northborough and Southborough Public School’s core values are the deeply ingrained principles that guide all of the learning organization’s actions; they serve as its pillars. The core values are articulated in the District’s strategic plan, Vision 2026: Educate, Inspire, and Challenge, and are Integrity, Empathy, Inclusivity, Equity, Perseverance, and Respect.
Additionally, Vision 2026 articulates five strategic objectives, one being Equity of Opportunity - Ensuring every child receives what they need in our schools - regardless of where they come from, what they look like, who their parents are, what their temperament is, or what they show up knowing or not knowing. Every child receives what he, she, or they need every day to have all the skills and tools to pursue whatever they want after leaving our schools, to live a fulfilling life. Equity is about outcomes and experiences - for every child, every day.
In the spring of 2021, the District initiated an equity audit to help the District better understand its strengths, areas for growth, and next level of work. I’m pleased to share that the equity audit report is complete. To review the report, one can view the Equity Audit Finding presentation, read the Executive Summary, or access the full report via the links below.
The District is studying the report and thinking about the next level of work to ensure all students receive what they need. As you review the information, please reach out if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Gregory L. Martineau
Superintendent of Schools
