Equity at Wells Branch AIA

OUR EQUITY MISSION: Wells Branch PTA recognizes that our school and our organization are seated within a context of historic and ongoing systemic racism. We are working to listen to our school community to dismantle institutional barriers that exist within our organization, and to use PTA’s privilege and power to amplify the voices and needs of our most marginalized families. We pledge to:

  • stay engaged and listen carefully,
  • create safe, accessible spaces for community dialogue,
  • participate in dismantling discriminatory systems in our school and our organization, and to
  • persistently advocate for equal educational outcomes for those most impacted by systemic discrimination.
