Corvallis School Board proclaims March 2022 as Women’s History Month
Summary
The Corvallis School Board adopted a resolution at its February meeting proclaiming March 2022 (and each March annually) as Women’s History Month for Corvallis School District 509J, encouraging schools and the community to recognize the contributions of women and reaffirm the district’s equity commitments.
The Corvallis School Board adopted a resolution at its regular February meeting proclaiming March 2022 — and each March thereafter — as Women’s History Month for Corvallis School District 509J.
The proclamation’s preamble referenced the long history of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, cited past legal exclusions that limited women’s political and property rights, and explicitly recognized the historical marginalization and violence experienced by trans women. The resolution “strongly encourage[s] students, families, staff, and community members to join in existing local celebrations and encourage all schools in the district to highlight the contributions of all women,” and was recorded in the packet as adopted at the district’s regular meeting in February 2022.
The board did not record a formal roll-call vote in the transcript excerpt. The proclamation will be included in district communications and is part of the board’s stated equity and instructional commitments for the year.
