Office of Educational Access

Feb. 18, 2024: Office of DEI Changes Name to Office of Educational Access

The LISD Office of Educational Access (OEA) has four major areas of focus.

• Ensuring that each and every student has equitable access in academics, extracurricular and cocurricular activities by identifying and removing any barriers, both structural and perceptual to their engagement. Ongoing data collection and cultural competency education will be foundational components of this area.
• Reducing academic gaps between student groups as measured by the LISD equity access data. This data will be reviewed by each feeder pattern during the school year and mitigation plans will be devised as warranted.
• Ongoing professional development for staff to enhance organizational cultural competency and inclusive leadership. This will include workshops, article reflections, action learning tabletop scenarios, and a staff survey administered in the fall and spring.
• Continuing to serve as an internal consultant for LISD campus and District leadership.
