Equity Services
The Minnesota Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MnMTSS) known in Lakeville as the Lakeville Framework, is a systemic, continuous improvement framework for ensuring positive social, emotional, behavioral, developmental, and academic outcomes for every student. MnMTSS provides access to layered tiers of culturally and linguistically responsive, evidence-based practices and relies on the understanding and belief that every student can learn and thrive. In addition, it engages an anti-bias and socially-just approach to examining policies and practices and ensuring equitable distribution of resources and opportunity.
Equity in Lakeville Area Schools is the intentional practice of working in partnership with our community to eliminate bias and barriers within our school system and ensure access to an inclusive learning environment that affirms and supports success for all students.
Ten Minnesota Commitments to Equity
Achievement and Integration Plan (A&I Plan)
The Minnesota Department of Education has required that all racially diverse and adjoining districts design and implement a plan to address the achievement gap. We will achieve this goal as a district by developing cultural awareness among our staff and students, providing equitable academic opportunities and support, and increasing student and family engagement. The A&I plan details how we will achieve these goals.
Advisory Councils
Lakeville Area Schools offers parents and community members opportunities to serve on advisory councils. We welcome the input and involvement of our community in our decision-making processes around our district, schools and programs. Learn about our various advisory councils including the American Indian Parent Advisory Council and the Multi-District Collaborative Council here.
