MINORITY RECRUITMENT PLAN
The Colchester Board of Education recognizes that the increasing diversity of individuals and cultures is a growing
characteristic of our state and nation which should have a significant bearing on the activities of the school district. Further,
the State of Connecticut has determined that the educational interests of the state require efforts by each school district to
provide educational opportunities for its students to interact with staff from other racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds
in order to reduce racial, ethnic and economic isolation.
To this end, the Board of Education believes that the importance of diversity of individuals and cultures should be
recognized in the recruitment of personnel in order to help promote an intellectually and culturally dynamic environment
that enables all students to gain an increased awareness and appreciation of the diverse world in which all are connected.
Consistent with the Board’s policies on Affirmative Action (4111.1) and Nondiscrimination (4118.11), and its rigorous
standards for the hiring of all staff, our plan for minority staff recruitment shall require an effort to attract talented minority
educators and other minority personnel to serve in available positions within the District.
