Highly Capable/Racial Equity Services Advisory

Highly Capable/Racial Equity Services Advisory (HC/RESA) 2023-26

The goal of the Highly Capable/Racial Equity Services Advisory (HC/RESA) is to advise Seattle Public Schools (SPS) on ways to ensure all SPS students have equitable access to advanced learning services.

One main objective is to gather feedback while the Highly Capable neighborhood school model is implemented. The Advanced Learning Department will use this information to make sure the new model is more inclusive, accessible, and culturally sensitive for every K-8 student.

SPS is Committed to Educational Equity 

SPS is committed to a high-quality and equitable education for all children. We are dedicated to creating a learning environment that inspires and supports all students. Meaningful involvement of families, staff, and community members is important to achieving excellence at SPS.  

HC/RESA members will:

  • Bring an open mind and a passion for ensuring educational and racial equity for all students.
  • Have a willingness to engage in inquiry, meaningful dialogue, and collaboration throughout the advisory process.
  • Advise the AL department regarding next steps of implementation and continuous improvement.
  • Serve as a two-way conduit of information with SPS families and community members.

The HC/RESA is established as a committee and will run for three years. The committee may extend due to needs and progress of the work.
