The J.S Bryant School is Committed to ...

Posted May 25, 2024

The J.S. Bryant School is committed to the shared work of co-creating and maintaining a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment of LGBTQIA+ individuals within our education system. We are committed to and accountable for creating a high quality and culturally sensitive learning and caring school.

 

We recognize that students of different sexual orientations, gender identity, and gender expressions have the lived-experience of intersectional identities via race, ethnicity, culture, age, ability status, class, faith, and other social characteristics. We are committed to promoting equality and respect for all people.

 

We recognize that our school is built on a spectrum of privilege including members of the LGBTQIA+ community, committed allies, and people of varied economic means, educational access, race, and ability status. We believe working with a diverse group is necessary to bring our vision to fruition for the J.S. Bryant School and address inequities rooted in systemic injustice and oppression in the community we serve. We are confident that this will result in a stronger organization and experience for our students.

We Value Action ...

We value action and have begun the following shared work.
We expect that this will evolve during 2024 and new actions will emerge as we open our school in Fall 2025.

 

  • Expand board of directors and staffing to be majority members of the LGBTQIA+ community which evolves to serve the growing needs of the school.

  • Co-identification of shared readings to enable discussion and growth among staff, the board of directors, and community.

  • Co-design with members of the J.S. Bryant School and our surrounding communities to develop a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) strategic plan for the school.

  • Explore new on-going professional development possibilities for the J.S. Bryant School community that moves forward our actions in support of the DEIB strategic plan.

  • Partner with organizations to celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of the LGBTQIA+ community by working towards equality, acceptance, and well-being for all people.

Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to Students:
The J.S. Bryant School will admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
