“We believe in opening doors to a more inclusive world.”
Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus is observing Inclusive Schools Week from December 8-12, 2025. The 2025 theme is “Children First: Building a Stronger Tomorrow.”
We are highlighting and recognizing the progress our schools have made in implementing inclusive practices to ensure a quality education for an increasingly diverse student population.
It’s also an opportunity for educators, students, and parents to reflect on what else needs to be done in order to ensure our schools continue to improve their ability to successfully educate all children.
Thanks to the hard work and commitment of teachers, administrators, students, and parents, our schools are more inclusive, and, therefore, significantly contribute to the development of a more inclusive society.

Yeates shared insights from his nearly 30-year career in law enforcement, including how a critical incident in 2012 shaped his professional path and the message he now brings to police recruits and college audiences. His visit offered Career & Technical Education students a candid look at the realities and responsibilities of the field.
Thank you, Investigator Yeates, for taking the time to meet with our programs! 👏✨
