In February, board members approved a resolution recognizing March 2021 Social Work Month declaring social workers as heroic and essential.
But before passing the resolution, the board removed language saying Social workers “heal our nation during these times of pandemic, racial unrest, economic uncertainty and political divisiveness.”
