At Stockton Unified School District, we value the richness that diversity brings to our community. We recognize and honor the unique identities, backgrounds, and experiences of every student, family, and staff member. By embracing diversity, we create an environment where all voices are heard, respected, and empowered—fostering a culture of mutual understanding and shared growth. Our commitment extends to addressing inequities and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Equity is the moral imperative to provide access and support for all marginalized persons to realize their personal best; liberating all through the eradication of- Ideological, Institutionalized, Interpersonal, and Internalized forms of oppression. Equity is the guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. The principle of equity acknowledges that there are historically under-served and under-represented populations and that fairness regarding these unbalanced conditions is needed to assist equality in the provision of effective opportunities for all groups

At Stockton Unified School District, inclusion means authentically engaging traditionally excluded individuals and groups in processes, activities, and decision-making. We are committed to sharing power and ensuring that everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources, fostering a sense of belonging where all voices contribute to shaping our school community.
