From Resolution to Action: How School Boards Can Advance Educator Diversity
Saturday August 29, 2026 1:45pm - 2:30pm PDT
San Carlos
Latino school board members and governance teams are uniquely positioned to lead on one of the most urgent issues facing California schools: building and sustaining a fully prepared, diverse educator workforce that reflects and serves our students and communities.

This session centers a board resolution toolkit informed by real examples from California districts, highlighting how local leaders are advancing innovative solutions. To support effective use of the toolkit, participants will reflect on statewide workforce data trends and research and consider the role of school boards and governing teams in aligning policy, budget, and accountability to strengthen educator recruitment and retention.

Participants will engage directly with key questions: How can school boards use resolutions to drive meaningful change in educator workforce outcomes? What does it look like to align policy, investment, and accountability to recruit and retain a fully prepared, diverse educator workforce?

Participants will engage in reflection and small group activities to adapt sample language, identify next steps, and plan for local action. Participants will leave with practical tools, sample language, and a clearer action plan to move from commitment to action.
