North Penn School District is committed to equity and excellence for all students. As such, the district has adopted a cultural proficiency action plan around race and ethnicity.

The four major goals outlined in the plan include:

  1. Increase the knowledge, skill, and practices of all staff related to cultural proficiency/cultural responsiveness which will reduce the achievement gap at the North Penn School District.
  2. Reduce the number of Black, Hispanic, and Multiracial students who are disproportionately represented in special education programs and disproportionately suspended from school so that the risk ratio for these subgroups is no greater than 1.5 times more likely.
  3. Implement practices that promote an increased pool of diverse applicants for positions across all employee groups.
  4. Increase student, staff and family engagement  in cultural proficiency efforts.
