Burlington Schools educate almost 3,500 students in nine schools.
OUR SCHOOLS: OUR FUTURE
"We All Belong"
One of the Vision Workshop teams drafted a statement to help define “Diversity”. An excerpt of this statement is presented here to express the spirit which characterized the development of the Vision and Master Plan:
“We all belong. We are a community of many cultures, faiths, abilities, shades, socioeconomic backgrounds, languages, learning styles, strengths, challenges, family constellation and incomes, birth places, and aspirations.
We all contribute to the fabric and quality of life in Burlington. The depth and richness of this diversity is our strength when we work toward a common goal.
We need to benefit from and
support the special contributions
each of us can make to Burlington.
We stand, as a community at the
doorstep of the 21st century,
looking back to valued traditions,
and forward to shape a shared
and preferred future. We strive
to create an inclusive community
where all belong and all are valued.”
