Dear Fontana Unified Families,

Fontana Unified School District is proud to serve a diverse community and is deeply committed to providing safe, inclusive learning environments where all students can achieve their full potential. Recently, it was brought to our attention that an unfortunate exchange took place between a student and teacher at one of our schools, related to the use of a racially insensitive word. While the use of the word was in connection to its use in a historical literary work, there was a lack of understanding regarding the emotional impact of using this word could have on our students. As a District, we take such incidents very seriously and we are committed to ensuring that our learning environment is inclusive and welcoming for all students.

We understand that such incidents can be hurtful and upsetting, especially for students who come from diverse backgrounds. We want to assure you that we do not tolerate any form of discrimination or prejudice in our school, and we are taking steps to address this issue and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

Going forward, we will continue to provide training and support to our administrators, teachers, and staff to ensure that they understand the importance of creating an inclusive and respectful learning environment. We will also work with our students to provide opportunities for open and honest dialogue about the impact of language and behavior on others. We are also partnering with the City of Fontana and other community partners to create a Community Round Table, where we can come together in support of a more cohesive and compassionate community in Fontana. We invite all of our Fontana Unified families to participate in this Community Round Table. Details on this event will be shared via ParentSquare and our District website soon.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Miki R. Inbody

Estimadas familias de Fontana

El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fontana se enorgullece de servir a una comunidad diversa y está profundamente comprometido a proporcionar ambientes de aprendizaje seguros e inclusivos donde todos los estudiantes puedan alcanzar su máximo potencial. Recientemente, fue traído a nuestra atención que un intercambio desafortunado ocurrió entre un estudiante y un maestro en una de nuestras escuelas, relacionado con el uso de una palabra racialmente insensible. Aunque el uso de la palabra estaba relacionado con su uso en una obra literaria histórica, no se comprendió el impacto emocional que el uso de esta palabra podría tener en nuestros alumnos. Como Distrito, nos tomamos muy en serio este tipo de incidentes y nos comprometemos a garantizar que nuestro entorno de aprendizaje sea integrador y acogedor para todos los alumnos.

Entendemos que este tipo de incidentes pueden ser hirientes y perturbadores, especialmente para los estudiantes que provienen de diversos orígenes. Queremos asegurarles que no toleramos ninguna forma de discriminación o prejuicio en nuestra escuela, y estamos tomando medidas para abordar esta cuestión y evitar que se produzcan incidentes similares en el futuro.

En el futuro, seguiremos proporcionando formación y apoyo a nuestros administradores, profesores y personal para asegurarnos de que comprenden la importancia de crear un entorno de aprendizaje integrador y respetuoso. También trabajaremos con nuestros alumnos para ofrecer oportunidades de diálogo abierto y honesto sobre el impacto del lenguaje y el comportamiento en los demás. También nos estamos asociando con la Ciudad de Fontana y otros socios de la comunidad para crear una Mesa Redonda de la Comunidad, donde podemos reunirnos en apoyo de una comunidad más cohesiva y compasiva en Fontana. Invitamos a todas nuestras familias de Fontana Unified a participar en esta Mesa Redonda Comunitaria. Los detalles sobre este evento serán compartidos a través de ParentSquare y nuestro sitio web del Distrito pronto.

Gracias por su comprensión y cooperación en este asunto.

Atentamente,

Miki R. Inbody
