Board proclaims April 2025 as Month of the Military Child, sets April 25 as Purple Up Day
Summary
The Yuma Elementary School District 1 governing board unanimously passed a resolution recognizing April 2025 as the Month of the Military Child and designated April 25, 2025 as Purple Up Day in the district.
The Yuma Elementary School District 1 governing board voted to adopt a resolution recognizing April 2025 as the Month of the Military Child and designating April 25, 2025 as Purple Up Day.
District presentations explained the district’s connection to two military installations and the presence of military‑connected students. The resolution cites state and national observances, references the Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission and notes that an estimated 1,338 military‑connected children are enrolled in the district. "Now, therefore, let it be resolved that the Yuma Elementary School District number 1 governing board recognizes and salutes military children by recognizing the month of April 2025 as the month of the military child and 04/25/2025 as purple up day," the resolution text read at the meeting.
A board member who identified as a veteran moved to adopt the resolution and another board member seconded the motion. The board then called the vote and the motion passed. Board members encouraged staff and families to wear purple on April 25.
The resolution was presented and adopted as a ceremonial and commemorative action; it does not create a new district program or funding change.
