April's Accomplishments

​April is the first board member in HUSD to initiate and write policy:

• Led the District in collaboratively writing and adopting the Board Policy on Antiracism (2020) and the Board Policy on Ethnic Studies (2021)
• Led the District in collaboratively writing a Board Policy on Inclusion (currently in process)
• Led the District in a major reform of disciplinary approaches, namely, moving away from punitive "student discipline" and instead toward Restorative Practices and healing-centered schools, including a collaborative rewriting of the Board Policy on Discipline (currently in process)

#oquenda4opportunity acknowledges that serious commitment to equity and antiracism work are necessary  to achieve racial and social justice in our educational community.
