Bay’s Board of Trustees, faculty and staff have committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as key components of School’s most recent Strategic Plan and have adopted a formal statement defining and emphasizing this commitment. Bay’s Precepts likewise ask each member of the Bay community to attend to individual perceptions and actions.
