LGBTQ+ History
The study of the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people and events in history provide opportunities for teachers to reveal stories that few have learned about, provide students with a new lens by which to understand history, and affirm their identities.
A monumental achievement in 2022 was building SUHSD justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) strategic plans into the 2022-2023 LCAP. Here are some highlights:
Action 2.3: Professional development for administrators, certificated, and classified employees ... a strategic focus on anti-racism, implicit bias, and intersectionality will be the topics for affinity group and cross-group dialogue and learning. This will create the space for different groups to hear and see each other's experiences and build coalitions.
Action 3.1: ...Priority will be given to students identified as EL, FY, SED, Youth in Transition, students with IEPs, and LGBTQ youth. All school sites will be provided with positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS), and professional learning for trauma-informed, healing-centered, culturally responsive restorative practices, and transformative social-emotional learning.
Action 3.3: An equitable, inclusive learning environment will be established and strengthened with restorative justice practices; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), alternatives to suspension and other means of correction.
Districtwide, we are building on the progress from 2021-2022 in which the LGBTQ+ Task Force was created and achieved the Pride Month Flag Raising Ceremony, Board Presentation and Resolution, website, safe space decal, and professional development for all staff.
