At KIPP Bay Area Public Schools we are committed to providing a safe, supportive place for ALL of our students. Our Board of Directors passed a resolution on December 15, 2016 declaring our schools as safe school zones. KIPP Bay Area Public Schools has resolved to publicly show our support for all of our students regardless of their status. We encourage you to review resources as a family and invite you to discuss this information with a KIPP Bay Area Public Schools team member.
Note: KIPP Bay Area Public Schools cannot provide you with legal advice; we can point you in the direction of legal and advocacy resources that can provide these services.
