DATA POINT: Diversity in Work Force
OVERVIEW
The Board of Education is committed to workforce diversity in employment. The Board also acknowledges the educational benefits of student exposure to a diverse workforce, as it promotes an understanding of diversity and enriches the exchange of ideas. As an equal opportunity employer and in order to reflect our school system’s demographics, it is critical to monitor and make efforts to provide for diversity when there is evidence of significant underrepresentation of a particular group in the workforce (Policy GBA).
This data point provides information about the diversity of the MCPS workforce. It reports the gender and racial make-up of administrators, teachers, and supporting services employees and provides longitudinal information. These data report the percentages—by gender and racial group—of administrators, other professionals, teachers, and supporting services employees.
