Superintendent Steven Bernay invites community to School City of East Chicago Black History Month events
Summary
Steven Bernay, superintendent of the School City of East Chicago, announced the district's Black History Month theme, encouraged students and staff to attend school- and districtwide programs and invited the public to a culminating performance planned for the end of the month (date not specified).
Superintendent Steven Bernay opened the program by addressing the audience as "Chicago nation" and introducing himself as the district's leader. "I am Steven Bernay, proud superintendent of the School City of East Chicago," he said, framing brief remarks about the district's Black History Month activities.
Bernay said the district is marking February in the same spirit that African Americans “have commemorated their achievements during the month of February.” He announced the district theme for the year: "A Century of Black History, Commemorations and Still, I Rise." He encouraged students and staff to deepen their learning by attending school- and districtwide programs.
Bernay told the public that each school will take part in a culminating event planned "for the end of this month," when students will perform, and he invited the community to attend. He closed by urging continued focus and effort during the month, saying that "now more than ever... it is important to keep moving with attention and executing with purpose."
The remarks were a short announcement of the district's programming and invitation; no formal motions, votes or policy changes were recorded during the remarks. The date and time of the culminating event were not specified in the remarks.
