Racism, discrimination, bullying and harassment goes against everything that the Lowell Public Schools stands for and believes in. Such offenses relating to racism, discrimination, bullying and harassment are considered bias incidents and are a device that interrupts the learning process and contributes to the achievement gap which disproportionately impacts individuals of ethnic & vulnerable subgroups.

The Lowell Public Schools is continually working to ensure that we provide a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning and working environment for all of our students, faculty, and staff. 

This Lowell Public Schools does not condone discrimination on the basis of protected status in the education programs and activities it operates. Furthermore, Lowell Public Schools aims to promote practices that maintain harmonious relationships and fosters a healthy learning environment conducive to academic achievement.
