• Provide a forum for the articulation of ideas and activities being implemented in the district, school sites, and the greater community that are successfully meeting the needs of our diverse student and parent population.
  
  
• Provide input on district and school site efforts to facilitate the building of bridges of understanding between diverse student and parent populations so that all groups feel connected to, and part of the school community.
  
  
• Monitor the implementation of an inclusive curriculum, including ethnic studies and learning experiences designed to eliminate racism and discrimination.
  
  
• Work collaboratively with other advisory committees as appropriate.
