This report is Puget Sound Educational Service District’s (PSESD) opportunity to share our progress in becoming an Antiracist Multicultural Organization (ARMCO) and working with our partners to achieve racially just and humanizing school systems. The ongoing COVID pandemic multiplied the complex challenges of achieving race equity in education systems across our communities.

The key questions that our Outcomes and Measures of Progress try to answer are: How does our collective work move our agency closer to achieving our END – eliminating the opportunity gap by leading with racial equity? How do we know? The Student, System and Agency Measures of Progress help PSESD and its partners set the right priorities to advance strategically and help...
