Building Inclusivity and Trusted Community Through Alternative Dispute Resolution

As an inclusive practice by definition, the ADR SFUSD program has looked to solve for inclusion in all aspects of its program design, including working with all family support groups at SFUSD and continued annual trainings on implicit bias, cultural competency and inclusion.  Specific outreach to parent groups and underserved families, especially those serving people of color, is continuous throughout the school year; significant coordination is also available between the Office of Family Voice and the Ombuds program at SFUSD to best engage parents with understanding and mutual respect to de-escalate tensions and conflict with the school district.
