Board adopts Juneteenth and Pride month resolutions
Summary
The Kenosha Unified School District board approved resolutions recognizing Juneteenth and June as Pride Month, affirming inclusion and support for students and staff.
The Kenosha Unified School District board approved two resolutions recognizing Juneteenth and Pride month.
Juneteenth resolution The board approved a resolution recognizing Juneteenth (June 19) as a day of remembrance and celebration, citing the 1865 enforcement of emancipation in Texas and the federal designation of Juneteenth as a national holiday. The resolution thanked foster care advocates, social workers and community partners for supporting children in care.
Pride month resolution A separate resolution, introduced and read by Board Member Mr. Bridal, recognized June 2025 as Pride Month in the district and affirmed the board's commitment to fostering a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for students, staff and families, noting the historical roots of Pride in the Stonewall events of 1969.
Board action Both resolutions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote without recorded opposition. Board members offered brief remarks in support and the motions passed.
Why it matters: the resolutions are symbolic actions by the board recognizing historical events and affirming district commitments to inclusion and to commemorations that districts use for curriculum and community engagement.
