On Tuesday, March 23rd the Regional School Committee unanimously passed the following statement:

Dear ARPS Families,

We mourn alongside our Asian, and Asian American community.

Although the most recent surge of anti-Asian violence is elevated from the pandemic and

fomented by some political leaders, anti-Asian violence has a long history deeply woven in this

Country. 

We condemn racism and xenophobia against Asian communities. Asian and Asian American

lives must not be devalued, demeaned, or dehumanized.

Solidarity is important and action is critical. We commit to work collectively with the whole school

community to dismantle white supremacist culture and eradicate racist violence
