Equity Initiatives

BASD Office of Equity: Vision
The Bethlehem Area School District aims to dismantle systemic/institutional barriers (myths, beliefs) to create a culture that affirms and supports the identities, experiences and voices of all students and staff and inform district-wide programs and initiatives towards educational equity and an anti-racist environment.

BASD Office of Equity: Ultimate Goal
Our ultimate goal is to ensure all learners have equitable access and opportunities for academic and professional achievement in a warm and welcoming environment where everyone experiences a sense of belonging. 

 

The Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) Program was established in state law in 2012 to enable eligible students, residing within the boundaries of low-achieving schools, as defined by the law, to apply for a scholarship to attend a participating public or nonpublic school.
