The district kicked off Black History Month on Feb. 1 with the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action, during which teachers engaged students with a set of 13 guiding principles through free resources from outside organizations. Stated goals for the week included to affirm students diverse Black identities, offer them a sense of belonging they might not otherwise have been feeling, and expand students perspectives on Black history and life.
