Equity and Anti-Bias/Anti-Racism

The Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) is committed to establishing and sustaining a community that shares a collective responsibility to recognize, interrupt, dismantle, and eliminate actions, decisions, and outcomes that result from and perpetuate racism. HUSD rejects all forms of racism as destructive to its mission of educational equity. We make this commitment as part of our strategic plan to develop life-long learners supported by inequitable and engaging learning environments that draw upon our community’s rich diversity.
