Board proclaims Black History Month and National School Social Work Week
Summary
The board read and presented two resolutions — proclaiming February 2026 as Black History Month and March 2026 as National School Social Work Week — and presented citations and recognitions to staff and community members.
The Norwalk‑La Mirada Unified School District Board of Education read and presented two ceremonial resolutions during its Feb. 23 meeting.
The first resolution proclaims February 2026 as Black History Month and cites state education guidance in its preamble. The board presented that resolution to Dr. Nana Akpara, principal at Escalona Elementary; Akpara accepted the proclamation and thanked the board.
The second resolution proclaims March 2026 as National School Social Work Week, highlighting the role of school social workers and citing federal statutes such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in the resolution language. District wellness coordinators accepted the recognition and noted the expansion of district social‑work staffing from earlier years.
Both readings included customary "whereas" language and public presentations; the meeting transcript records the resolutions and presentations but does not record roll‑call vote tallies for the items in the excerpted sections.
