On Monday, October 16, 2017, RUSD Superintendent Dr. David Hansen announced the creation of an Equity Task Force to address the opportunity and achievement gaps that exist within RUSD. A Task Force was convened that represented a cross-section of community, higher education, parent and advocacy groups. The team was charged to provide a focus and clear direction on the following two objectives:
1) Operationalize what Equity means for Riverside Unified School District and its staff, parents and students
2) Establish the framework to transform RUSD into a leading educational organization that readily addresses the achievement and opportunity gaps for all students
