A Celebration of Black History Month

In the Chula Vista Elementary School District, we are rethinking how to better recognize and communicate about Black History Month. CVESD has a newly created Black Learners Advisory Committee. BLAC has as its purpose to provide and monitor the ongoing support for Black/African American students and families in CVESD to ensure unbiased practices/policies, equitable educational outcomes, and equal access to quality education.

To borrow from Teaching Tolerance, “African American History Month is a reminder to all of us to continue Carter G. Woodson’s commitment—to bring greater regard for the contributions of African Americans to this country, to understand and overcome a legacy of oppression and racism, and, in so doing, to further racial harmony among us all.”

Attendance Update
