Equal Education Opportunity
The Tisbury School is committed to insuring equal educational opportunity for all children regardless of race, gender, abilities, heritage or beliefs. Prejudicial attitudes or abusive language harm the emotional and educational growth of children of color and destroy the dignity of the individual, their families, and our community and will not be tolerated. Further, we believe that the school has a central responsibility to support the development of healthy self-esteem in an atmosphere of respect for all children and adults. We intend to build on the rich cultural diversity of our community, creating a sense of unity from our many individual differences. We will work with community groups to promote, a culturally enriched, non-biased curriculum at all grade levels and in all subject matter. We welcome participation in our school program by members of the community who wish to share their ethnic background, experiences and life skills with our students.
If you believe that your child's civil rights have been violated, contact the teacher, counselor, or principal immediately with the information that you have been given. Disciplinary measures as outlined in the handbook will be followed.
