Constitution Day is an opportunity to celebrate our county's founding and the document that establishes our form of government. It is important to remember that our Constitution is a "living document." Article V of the Constitution has been most used to expand voting rights to those previously denied. Additionally, it is the perfect time to talk about the Census.

Please note, not every lesson or resource has been vetted by JCPS. Teachers should use their discretion, ensuring it aligns to standards and the racial equity policy.
