Equity StatementTop of Page
At Sequoia Adult School we aspire to be an inclusive institution where we value all forms of diversity and treat it as a strength.
Being a part of the North Fair Oaks community, we have the unique opportunity to serve members of a vibrant immigrant population.
We strive to be welcoming, empathetic, and supportive of our diverse population in order to empower our adult learners and staff to achieve their academic as well as personal goals. We aim to do this by regularly examining our school’s programs, curriculum, policies, and practices. This self-evaluation process helps us create an equitable school community where we provide quality educational experiences while recognizing the needs of each individual and offering relevant resources and support.E

Adult-Education College and Career Educational Leadership (ACCEL) is the planning body for San Mateo County responsible for carrying out the charge and opportunity of AB 86. ACCEL is collaboratively rethinking and redesigning Adult Education to accelerate student success.
We are a coalition of adult schools, community colleges, and partners throughout the region. Our mission is to support adult education students' transition to college, workplace success, and community contributions.
The California Legislature passed the AB 86 Adult Education Consortium Planning program to develop a seamless system of transitions between Adult Schools and Community Colleges. ACCEL's goal is to create collaborative relationships, systems, and strategies to achieve sustainable results as community needs change.
Our collaboration includes:
- A countywide Steering Committee developing integrated regional strategies
- Collaborative Action Teams (CATs) creating targeted initiatives to meet sub-regional needs
- Partnerships with community organizations, public agencies, employers, labor and philanthropy
to expand options for adult learners
Collaborative Action Teams
ACCEL Collaborative Action Teams (CAT) are the main vehicle for developing collaborative plans and building ongoing capacity. Teams bring together staff from both sectors to review data and developed shared strategies. Four teams will address the unique areas of the county:
