Board adopts resolution recognizing Arab American Heritage Month
Summary
The Lake Oswego School District board unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing April as Arab American Heritage Month and encouraged schools to incorporate instruction on Arab American contributions into curricula.
The board read and adopted a resolution recognizing Arab American Heritage Month and asked schools to integrate instructional activities about Arab American history and contributions. The resolution text—which members took turns reading aloud—cited contributions to science, medicine, law and public service and identified the 2026 theme as "many voices, one community."
A board director moved to adopt the resolution and a second was recorded; the board voted aye and the motion carried. The resolution directs schools to add learning activities and awareness-raising during the month and year-round.
