Van Sickle Academy Equity and Anti-Racism Statement
Van Sickle Academy rejects all forms of racism as damaging to our mission, vision, values, and goals. We are dedicated to the following principles:
1. Creating and nourishing a school community that shares the responsibility to address, eradicate, and avoid actions, choices, and outcomes that result from and disseminate racism.
2. Rejecting inequitable practices and fostering the exceptional gifts, aptitudes, and interests of every child to end the prognostic value of social or cultural factors, such as race, class, or gender.
3. Respecting and embracing the diversity and life experiences of all community members to support the school’s mission, vision, values, and goals.
4. Recognizing that racism is often exacerbated by other forms of discrimination.
