The Piedmont board adopted Resolution No. 22024–25 recognizing Sept. 15–Oct. 15 as National Latine Heritage Month; the resolution was read aloud and approved by roll-call vote.

The board adopted Piedmont Unified School District Resolution No. 22024–25 recognizing Sept. 15–Oct. 15 as National Latine Heritage Month. The resolution text — which traces the month’s federal history and explains the inclusive use of the term “Latine” — was read aloud to the board during the meeting.

A roll-call vote was taken as required for formal resolutions. The board’s roll call, as read at the meeting, recorded each member answering “Aye.” The chair announced that the resolution passed. The resolution text included historical context and examples of Latine contributions cited in the reading.

Why it matters: The resolution is a ceremonial recognition but signals district attention to cultural identity and inclusion across schools. The board took formal action and recorded the roll-call vote as part of the minutes.
