USDA Civil Rights Policy Statement

At MAS Charter School, we are recommitting ourselves to the values of equity, inclusion, and equal opportunity for each other and those we serve. The school will work with our dedicated team to intentionally build and advance a culture of belonging which empowers a diverse mix of people across USDA. It is MAS Charter School’s mission to actively advance racial justice and equity for one another by rooting out systemic racism and strengthening civil rights programs while building trust within and outside our school.

No employee, former employee, or applicant for employment at the school will be denied equal opportunity because of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, retaliation, or any other non-merit-based factor. No student, former student, or potential student will be denied equal opportunity because of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, retaliation, or any other non-merit-based factor. This not only is the law; it is an essential component of the Department’s mission and our responsibility to the public we serve.

All employees and students have the freedom to compete on a fair and level playing field with equal opportunity for available employment and education and advancement opportunities. All MAS Charter School applicants and students have the right not only to be free from harassment and discrimination but also to raise an allegation of harassment or discrimination and not fear reprisal.

We as a school will not tolerate any form of workplace harassment. Agencies are required to respond to, address, and correct any harassing conduct before it becomes severe or pervasive, and MAS Charter School will continue to quickly process complaints of harassment, discrimination, and reprisal and provide robust EEO training to all employees.
