TEANECK BOARD OF EDUCATION REAFFIRMS JUNE 2020 AS LGBTIQA+ PRIDE MONTH

Whereas, the month of June was chosen to celebrate the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning, asexual, and gender nonbinary (LGBTIQA+) activists at the Stonewall Inn; and

Whereas, Teaneck Public Schools have a longstanding tradition of leading the nation in honoring diversity through inclusion and celebration of people of all races, national origins, abilities, genders, sexual orientations and religions; and

Whereas, Board Goal 4 states, “The Teaneck Public Schools will create equitable and inclusive
	
learning opportunities for all students”; and

Whereas, Teaneck Public Schools is committed to ending anti- LGBTIQA+ violence, bullying, and discrimination, and to ensuring that LGBTIQA+ students and staff are treated with dignity and respect in our schools and our community; and

Whereas, the Board recognizes that our LGBTIQA+ young people are at a greater risk for negative health and social outcomes, and race and socio economic status can amplify these risks; and

Now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Teaneck Board of Education declares June as LGBTIQA+ Pride Month in our schools.

Be It Further Resolved that the Philadelphia PRIDE flag will be raised at each Teaneck Public Schools building as a symbol to all who live here, work here, and visit here, that Teaneck Public Schools is an inclusive and diverse community which welcomes LGBTIQA+ individuals.
