Equity and Integration
Interpreter List Success Coaches
The Alliance for Educational Equity is an integration collaborative with four active partner districts: Albert Lea, Austin, Hayfield, and Southland. The goals of the collaborative are based on state legislature intended to improve academic achievement for all students while closing the racially and socioeconomically predictable achievement gaps while promoting integrated school and community environments. Austin's Achievement & Integration plan is focused on supporting student and family success by increasing access and representation for all students and families, ensuring culturally and linguistically responsive supports, and building a safe and welcoming learning community for all.
For more details about the integration program, please contact Kristi Beckman or see the attached plan.
