Diversity, equity and inclusion have become a priority for many school districts this past year. To address those issues, local districts have turned to partnerships with the San Diego County Office of Education’s equity department over the last month, work has begun in the Del Mar and San Dieguito Union High School Districts.
But what does that really mean?
“The biggest piece is really about building community. It’s about seeing each other’s humanity, having empathy for the other person whoever they may be,” said Fabiola Bagula, senior director of SDCOE’s equity department. “It’s the commitment that every student receives what they need to develop their full academic and social potential.”

Some Eastlake High School seniors stepped foot on campus last weekend for the first time since the pandemic began more than a year ago to go to prom.
Girls in long, sparkling gowns and high heels and boys in suits all wearing masks got their temperature taken at the school gate, then walked down a red carpet under a tunnel of strung-up lights to a balloon arch to take their pictures.
Students danced to bumping music from a DJ in their outdoor amphitheater underneath flashing colored lights.

When the COVID vaccine became available to young people ages 16 and older, Evelyn Arce heard students say they wouldn’t get vaccinated because they don’t trust the vaccine.
They had Evelyn convinced for a day or two. But the 17-year-old senior at Hoover High in City Heights soon changed her mind based on data, not peer pressure.
Recent data show COVID case rates have plummeted as more people have been vaccinated, Evelyn said, and society is opening back up again.
“I was like, ‘Why am I listening to my peers when there’s people that know more?’,” she said Wednesday. “I don’t believe the conspiracy theories going around, because I see the statistics.”
