In 2019, Glendale Unified School District convened a working group, made up of students, teachers, school and district administrators and staff, parents/guardians, and community members, focused on providing culturally relevant and responsive education for all students. The CREE Working Group included multiple committees focused on five key areas:
- Eliminating bias in curricula and educational materials
- Actively recruiting a more diverse workforce and providing professional development to ensure culturally competent, anti-biased leadership
- Analyzing student discipline data and continuing the use of Restorative Practices to build community, strengthen school culture, and repair relationships
- Engaging students and families to proactively develop inclusive school communities
- Connecting with community partners to support this work and provide culturally relevant educational opportunities for students
