OSSU Equity Statement

The Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU) is committed to growing a culture of equity, in which each and every student receives the personalized resources and educational opportunities they need to learn and thrive.

The supervisory union will implement principles and frameworks of equity within all policies, programs, operations, practices, and resource allocations. The Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union holds itself and all employees, students, and volunteers accountable for building a supervisory union-wide commitment to equity.
