3. SAA’s Statement of Diversity and Inclusion:
Science & Arts Academy values the representation and full engagement of individuals
within our community whose differences include – but are not limited to – age,
ethnicity, family makeup, gender identity and expression, physical ability, race, religion,
sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. SAA welcomes and celebrates the
diversity of our school, and works to create and sustain a diverse, inclusive, equitable,
and just community that is safe and welcoming for all; we recognize to do so requires
commitment, reflection, deliberate planning and action, and ongoing
accountability.
