Embracing Diversity At Your Schools

Cultural Competency is our ongoing individual and collective ability to understand and interact with people from diverse backgrounds in a manner that recognizes, affirms and values each person’s uniqueness.It is also our ability to integrate cultural awareness and knowledge into specific standards, policies, practices and attitudes throughout our school system to provide an equitable and excellent educational experience that improves outcomes for all CMS students.Strengthening, sustaining and celebrating this ability will become a fundamental part of our district culture.
It will include expanding our awareness  and understanding of self, others, and the culture and community within we operate.
