In the Brentwood Union School District, we believe that every student, family, and staff member deserves to feel safe, valued, and connected. Belonging is at the heart of our work; it means that every individual is welcomed for who they are, respected for their unique contributions, and supported in their growth.
We are committed to fostering inclusive school communities where harmful language and actions have no place. Through restorative practices, education, and accountability, we strive to build relationships, repair harm, and ensure that our schools are spaces where all students can thrive.
Together, we will continue to create a culture of respect, belonging, and safety, where every child knows they matter and every voice is heard.
