Welcome to Lincoln Consolidated Schools

Letter from Lincoln Consolidated Schools

June 1, 2020

Dear Lincoln Community,

On July 2, we will recognize the 56^th anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act, intended to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin.  It is a harsh reality that 56 years later we are still faced with the struggles of discrimination and systemic racism.

As people around the country are reacting to another tragic death of an African American due to police brutality, we recognize that the outrage and broad protesting are because, unfortunately, this is not an anomaly.   An analysis by Rutgers University of 2013-2018 mortality data showed that “about 1 in 1,000 black men and boys can expect to die as a result of police violence over the course of their lives – a risk that's about 2.5 times higher than their white peers.” This shocking and disappointing statistic is one that we take seriously and will intentionally work to change.

Lincoln Consolidated Schools are firmly committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. We celebrate our diversity; which includes race and ethnicity, socio-economic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, disability status, age, gender, gender identity and political perspective. We do not support any form of discrimination and are intentional in our efforts to ensure that differences are respected.  We value and appreciate everyone and work to ensure that we have an environment in which everyone feels safe. We appreciate the benefits of various experiences, perspectives and cultures that bring diverse learning to our classrooms.

In Lincoln Consolidated Schools we recognize the significant benefits of an inclusive, safe environment that fosters and builds a respectful, dynamic, diverse educational experience. We are proud of our welcoming and inclusive environment for our students, families, staff and administration. We will continue in our commitment to families to provide the best educational experience for all students. 

As we head into summer and on to the next school year, our continued efforts include expanding on the work we’ve already started on Social Emotional Learning and Restorative Justice. We will consistently and inclusively invest in making relationships matter most where the dignity, rights, and needs of all members are valued and respected. We are building a restorative community that is safe, supportive and conscious of injustice. 

At Lincoln Consolidated Schools, above all we value people. We are committed to working every day to ensure a safe place for our children to learn and grow into the best possible version of themselves.

Respectfully,

Yoline Williams
President, Board of Education                       

Robert Jansen
Interim Superintendent
