Refined Bronxville Promise Language
At the Sept. 6 meeting of the Board of Education, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Rachel Kelly, reviewed new and refined language that has been incorporated into the Bronxville Promise following a summer review by the leadership team, faculty, staff and the BOE. The updated Promise incorporates additional language around diversity, inclusion, belonging, technological advances and civil discourse. Dr. Kelly invited input from parents and other community members through a Google form which may be found here.
