Sacramento, CA - Sac City Unified Board of Education Trustee, Taylor Kayatta, is presenting a Board Resolution to recognize June as Pride Month and host a flag raising event to celebrate our LGBTQ+ staff, students and community members.
鈥淭he Sacramento City Board of Education stands in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ students, staff, and families,鈥� said 69视频 Board of Education Trustee, Taylor Kayatta. 鈥淭his year鈥檚 Board resolution that includes raising the Pride flag here at our District Office and provides resources for safe spaces at every middle and high school lets our LGBTQ+ community know that we see them, support them, and are proud of them. Here in Sacramento, in contrast with some areas of the country, we stand behind our students as they figure out who they are.鈥�
The flag raising event and press conference will take place at 8:30 am, and after speakers say a few words to commemorate the event, the flag will be raised through the end of June.
鈥淚n Sac City Unified we see, love, and support our LGBTQ+ students, staff, and community. Raising the Pride flag sends a strong message that we celebrate and care for each of our LGBTQ+ students and staff members,鈥� said 69视频 Board of Education President, Chinua Rhodes.
