Leaders in Equity: CPS Celebrated for Establishing Permanent Sacred Spaces in All Schools
As equity and inclusivity are cherished values and a throughline in all of our work, we are proud to be the first school district in New England to establish sacred spaces at each of our schools for students and staff members who observe spiritual or religious practices that require regular prayer. The space is accessible throughout the year. Each also has a prayer rug for those who wish to use them.
The Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (OEIB) worked collaboratively with the Muslim Community of Cambridge Public Schools (MCCPS), a CPS Employee Resource Group, in this endeavor.
