Diversity, Belonging, Inclusion, and Equity at Yu Ying

For SY 24 - 25 its priority goals are:
1. To co-create a schoolwide equity vision (with shared community input).
2. To building out YYET's infrastructure
3. To continue and improve community dialogues, what we call Equity Salons

This year the school community has adopted the following as its shared community agreements based on Kazu Haga's Fierce Vulnerability Considerations.

1. We have the right to be raggedy
2. We communicate in our preferred language
3. We embrace conflict as the spirit of the relationship asking itself to deepen
