Our Diversity and Equity Statement
The Albany Public Schools Foundation, in alignment with the Greater Albany Public School District’s equity values, prioritizes the principles of fairness and justice in distributing resources, providing opportunities, and creating success for every student. The Foundation prioritizes equity and is committed to promoting an educational system in which race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability, or religion are not predictors of student achievement; where historically underserved groups increase in capacity and power; and where barriers to student success have been mitigated or eliminated. Educational equity promotes the real possibility of equality of educational results for every student and between diverse groups of students.
