Board approves Black History Month proclamation for February
Summary
The board approved a resolution recognizing February as Black History Month with updated language and an added mention of former superintendent Michael Watkins; Trustee Van Allen recommended passage and the board adopted the resolution.
Trustee Van Allen presented an updated resolution recognizing February as Black History Month and suggested adding a line referencing former superintendent Michael Watkins and the Black Grad celebration to avoid misinterpretation of the event's purpose. "Again, of course, I recommend passage," Van Allen said. The board moved, seconded, and approved the resolution by roll call.
Trustees discussed the language briefly and emphasized the resolution is an additional community celebration and not a replacement for standard high-school graduations. The resolution passed with unanimous support and will be included in board records.
