Specifically, with respect to equity, the Policy states:
"Equity provides fairness and access to resources, opportunities, and outcomes so that all communities get what they need to be engaged and successful. This moves beyond an 'equal across the board' approach to:
a) Recognize and address bias and privilege.
b) Understand and attend to specific individual and community needs, providing additional resources to those with greater needs."
