EQUITY STATEMENT

The Riverdale School District strives to create an inclusive and racially affirming environment that welcomes and values the diversity of our staff and students. Riverdale School District believes that having a diverse faculty and staff reflective of the community's demographics, country, and world provides significant value to students of color and all students and adults and will commit to putting practices in place that will lead to a more diverse workforce.

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in the list above.  We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be the one who comes from a less traditional background. We would encourage you to apply, even if you don't believe you meet every one of our qualifications described.  If you are unsure whether you meet the qualifications of this position or how this would be determined, please feel free to contact Human Resources: Tammie Wing (twing@riverdale.k12.or.us) to discuss your application.
