School Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Liaisons

Every school in the Howard County Public School System has at least one staff member who serves as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Liaison.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Liaison (DEIL) serves as an extension of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) at the school level and works with the principal to support their vision of equity in alignment with implementation of the HCPSS Equity Framework, Howard County Board of Education Policy 1080 Educational Equity, and the School Improvement Plan (SIP). The DEIL benefits from targeted professional learning and growth opportunities, leadership skill development, personal and professional fulfillment. In this role they will lead school-based professional learning, support school improvement planning, work with the ODEI on district-level initiatives, and provide expertise on the benefits of DEI. Since this role is designated by the principal, it is crucial that the DEIL and principal work collaboratively to support the Superintendent’s Strategic Plan.
