Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

In the Spring of 2020, the OSA community came together. Families, OSA staff, and students attended rallies and PLACEHOLDER IMAGESin solidarity marched together for a common cause— Black Lives Matter. We are proud of our teachers and students who expressed themselves through the painting of striking murals on our building and in the Uptown neighborhood. We take a stand as a school community to say that we do not tolerate racism. Resources were committed for the 2020-21 school year to the rollout of an expansive, year-long Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion plan designed to examine all aspects of how the school operates. This work will result in creating a leadership role as well as an equity rubric for the school that will be implemented in our next Strategic Plan.
