Alumnus wants to help Jacksonville private school with diversity, equity and inclusion efforts

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – An alumnus of The Bolles School wants to help the private school with its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Dixon told News4Jax on Tuesday he wants to have one or two of his fellow members sit on Bolles’ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force to help the school create change. Ad“It appears as though they have a different idea of diversity, equity and inclusion,” Dixon said.

Dixon also has suggested a mentoring program where Black alumni can mentor Black students, but he said he hasn’t heard much from the school in return.

Donors pressured Jacksonville private school to drop diversity curriculum

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Six days before The Bolles School announced it would not move forward with a planned diversity curriculum, the Board of Trustees and others received a message signed by five former board chairmen saying financial support was in jeopardy if the school adopted the curriculum. “As a past board chairman, alumnus and past-parent, we are deeply concerned about the direction of our school,” the letter said in part. The letter was signed by A. Chester Skinner III, Richard Dostie, Clancey Houston, Rodney McLauchlan and William Lynch — all of them former chairmen of the school’s Board of Trustees. “It had absolutely no bearing on our decision to change course on our curriculum implementation,” Hodges said in an emailed response. Ad“The Bolles School is committed, and as Head of School I am personally committed, to a comprehensive program of diversity and inclusion,” Hodges said.

This photos of a banner outside The Bolles School campus on San Jose Blvd was captured on Jan. 29, 2021. AdWhen News4Jax asked for clarification on what the school leadership meant by “angst,” Jan Olson, Senior Director of Communications and Marketing at The Bolles School replied, “...some people really wanted it and some really didn’t so our board decided to seek other resources. “We realize that the topic of diversity and inclusion is very personal and can generate strong emotions,” the letter said.

Bolles, Episcopal & Kenny to start randomly drug testing students

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Three prominent private schools in Jacksonville will randomly test their students for drug and alcohol use beginning in September 2020. News4Jax obtained an email sent to parents, announcing that the trustees for both The Bolles School and Episcopal School of Jacksonville voted unanimously to launch the random drug and alcohol testing program next year for their high school students. A separate notice, which mirrors those sent to Bolles and Episcopal parents, was sent to Bishop Kenny parents Wednesday afternoon. "The primary purpose of this is to help somebody that has a need," The Bolles School's President and Head of School Tyler Hodges told News4Jax. According to the emails to Bolles, Episcopal and Kenny parents, the schools already had policies for drug testing based on suspicion, but the new program will expand to randomly test all students in ninth to 12th grades.
