Educating a Diverse Community

The increasing needs of a changing student enrollment provide us with the challenge of continually adapting our educational environment to best serve all students. Our strategic plan for continuous improvement, known as The Design for Excellence, is built to meet that challenge and support academic excellence for all students. As part of our initiative to provide opportunities for all students in Chesterfield, last week Chesterfield County Public Schools Board members held a public engagement session inviting the public to participate in a conversation about educating a diverse community of learners. The Richmond Times-Dispatch has written an article about the session, providing insight about our efforts from our School Board Chair Dianne Pettitt, as well as opinions and suggestions from others who attended.
