About

Our Districts & Schools

ER9 represents three separate school districts. Easton (E) and Redding (R) are each Pre-K to Grade 8 school districts. They share a high school, Joel Barlow High School, which is its own separate school district (Region 9 — the “9” in ER9). Each of the three districts has its own Board of Education, led by our Superintendent (Dr. Jason McKinnon) and a dedicated leadership team.

We have five incredible schools and serve N=2,516 students.

Equity and Inclusion Statement

The Easton, Redding, and Region 9 School Districts acknowledge the uniqueness and varied experiences of all students, staff, families, and community members as well as the uniqueness and experiences of people in our state, country, and the world. Our current and future students and staff deserve equitable and inclusive teaching and learning environments that are emotionally, socially, and physically safe, free from intentional or unintentional barriers that are the result of bias, prejudice, and discrimination. Creating a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive environment requires an ongoing collaboration of all stakeholders. Our unwavering commitment to meet the unique needs of every student will ensure that regardless of actual or perceived race, class, socioeconomics, gender, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political perspective, cognitive ability, physical ability, diverse language fluency, emotional and mental functionality, physical appearance, immigration status, and religion, all students will grow into culturally competent community members who value and learn from the uniqueness and varied experiences of others and are able to thrive within the global community.
