At School Board School, we are intentional about recruiting a class that reflects the diversity of our community. While the following questions are optional, they will help us understand who is applying to School Board School. Please know that these questions do not have any bearing on whether or not you are selected for School Board School, and your individual answers will remain confidential.

We know that self-identification is important and that language matters. We have tried to be as inclusive as possible in the choices below, while also understanding that the options we provide may not describe your identity or experiences. Please use the option to write in how you identify by clicking on "prefer to self-describe" and typing your answer there, and you are always welcome to choose the “prefer not to answer” option.
